2023 Bott 3 Grácia Sweet

Notes & Pairings

This is a collaboration between three of our existing producers who also happen to be long time best friends - Stéphanie Berecz (Kikelet), Judit Bodó (Bott Pince) and Sarolta Bárdos (Tokaj Nobilis). Whenever they have an exceptional vintage they get together and make a blend that showcases their friendship and love for Tokaj. As Judit puts it, “It's the same as in all areas of life: balance. Balance inevitably brings elegance with it.” It’s also the kind of high acid, off dry, salty, and alive wine that we can drink at any time and it’s priced for everyday drinking. Pulling from three different vineyard sites, Csirke-mál (Nobilis), Határi (Bott), and Váti (Kikelet), it’s a late harvest wine with around 80 g/l of RS, but still 12% and with plenty of refreshing acidity. The label has a drawing of each of them as a black silhouette, but if you know them, it’s painfully clear who is who. Judit is originally from Slovakia, Stéphanie from France and Sarolta a native of Tokaj, so it also harkens back to the melting pot era of the appellation at its peak in European popularity. Each winemaker has also won the “Winemaker of Winemakers” title in Hungary, meaning it was their fellow winemakers who voted them the best and they each have a star in front of the Saint István Church in Budapest. A rare and limited gem from Tokaj.
