Bott Pince Csontos Tokaji Furmint 2022

Judit Bott and her husband Jóska moved to Tokaj in 2000. Judit was a graduate of agricultural college, and Jóska a student of art history. Together, they founded Bott Pince, taking over management of well-established old vines in the famed wine region's volcanic hills. 

Today they manage their vineyards organically, and continue to explore their terroirs through single vineyard expressions of the indigenous grapes Furmint and Hárslevelű. As well as their traditional Aszú sweet wines, and historical botrytised Szamorodni wines, Bott Pince's tiny production of dry wines are a significant contribution to the emergence of modern dry winemaking in Tokaj.

The Csontos vineyard was the first plot Judit and Jóska purchased in Tokaj. It has rich brown forest soil with slaty rhyolite formations. Towards the top of the hill, they have planted the steep terraces with new vines, looking towards future vintages, while below grow 40-60-year-old Furmint vines.

The 2022 vintage of this single-vineyard dry Furmint is medium-bodied, with steely acidity, and notes of citrus and ripe pear.
