Maurer Crazy Lud White 2020

“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.

The Olaszrizling and a touch of Ezerjó were macerated for 3-5 days adding body and texture. The Szerémi Zöld and Bakator add acidity and primary fruit and the Slankamenka brings salt and aromatics. It’s a celebration of local grapes in an affordable, everyday wine. Bottled unfined and unfiltered with just a touch of sulfur  (20ppm) at bottling. Only 10.4% ABV.
