Patricius Brut 2023

Bottle fermented sparkling wine made of Furmint and Hárslevelű, with 5.3 g/L dosage. This terroir-driven sparkling wine, made using the traditional method, captures the unique character of Tokaj’s volcanic soil. The fruity notes of Hárslevelű are elegantly balanced by the vibrant acidity of Furmint and enriched by the complex aromas developed during bottle fermentation and extended ageing on the lees.

Bottle fermented sparkling made of Ezerjó grape

Most wine enthusiasts have not even heard of Ezerjó grape, and it is quite likely that only a small minority have ever tasted it in sparkling version. Ezerjó is almost exclusively grown in two wine regions out of the 22 in Hungary, in Mór and Kunság. Frittmann Winery is the only one to our knowledge that makes méthode traditionnelle sparkling wine of this grape.
“The acidity structure of Ezerjó wines is a key factor. This, together with the restrained aromas typical of the grape variety, is also a basic requirement for making sparkling wine. We have been making traditional sparkling wine since 2013, and experimenting with different grape varieties has taught us that Ezerjó can produce a truly unique Kunság sparkling wine that also matures and evolves beautifully in the bottle.“
