The core of the 2022 blend is Kékfrankos, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Kadarka. A little Muscat Hamburg and Prokupac for aromatic seasoning and grip as well. Everything is fermented separately (2-6 days in open vats) and then blended and aged for one year in used 500L Hungarian oak.

The short maceration keeps the Muscat aromatics fresh, but there’s still enough grip from the Cabernet/Prokupac, meatiness from the Kékfrankos and elegance from the Kadarka for balance. It can take a chill, but doesn’t require it. It’s light and refreshing, but not glou-glou. It’s also not rushed to market and instead allowed solid lees aging time to become stable.

Bottled unfined and unfiltered by gravity with zero additions.

Maurer Crazy Lud Red 2022

“Lud” means Goose in Hungarian and Crazy in Serbian. There’s an old Hungarian expression, “Ha lúd, legyen kövér!” that literally translates to “If it’s a goose, let it be fat.” In other words, if you’re going to go big, go big in all respects. This pretty much sums up this wine. This is also table wine in the best kind of way.

WINE MAKING
Everything is handpicked in small bins and all fermentations are spontaneous (primary and secondary). The use of older oak, small and large format is paramount. Zero compromise with zero additions of any kind. Wines are typically only racked once before bottling and everything is bottled unfiltered.
