Tasting Notes from Pinto Wines Colour Straw yellow colour Nose Palate Fact Sheet Size 75 cl Grape Variety Hárslevelű Alcohol % 13.5% Style Estate/Producer Bott Frigyes Country / Region Slovakia / Pohronie Vintage 2022 Vinification all fermentations are native, there’s zero temperature control, longer lees aging, natural settling, all oak barrel (some amphora), and bottling unfined and unfiltered with a small amount of SO2 at bottling as the only addition. For the reds, they do use the “Hamburger” method which is essentially alternating layers of whole cluster (foot stomped), topped with whole cluster, then topped with a destemmed and hand crushed layer. This achieves a semi-carbonic quality to the wines without developing too much of the banana or bubble gum often associated with carbonic. For the skin contact whites, it’s often no more than a week, and they are careful to keep it worked over to prevent VA and other flaws. The winemaking overall is tied to tradition but with a nod to modern hygiene in the cellar. Cellaring/Ageing Potential Closure Natural Cork
