Located in the Garam wine region of southern Slovakia, Bott Frigyes Winery is deeply committed to both the land and the people behind its wines. The estate follows organic and biodynamic principles, allowing the vineyards to flourish naturally while maintaining a deep respect for the environment. With vineyards planted on volcanic and limestone-rich soils, the winery focuses on expressing the unique terroir through indigenous and Central European grape varieties such as Furmint, Hárslevelű, Juhfark, and Kadarka.
Frigyes Bott and his team take a hands-off approach in the cellar, using spontaneous fermentation, neutral vessels like oak and amphora, and minimal intervention to preserve the purity of the fruit. This results in wines that are elegant, layered, and full of character, reflecting both the distinctiveness of the region and the philosophy of the people behind them.
The winery is not only about winemaking but also about community and heritage. By reviving traditional winemaking methods and championing lesser-known grape varieties, Bott Frigyes is helping to shape the future of Slovakian wine while staying deeply connected to its roots. Their wines are vibrant, balanced, and expressive—a true reflection of the land they come from and the people who craft them.
With a growing international reputation, Bott Frigyes is proving that Slovakia’s wine scene is one to watch.
