Maurer Mézes Fehér 2019

Country: Serbia

Region: Fruška Gora

Type: Orange Wine 

Grape: Mézes Fehér

Mézes Fehér, literally, “honey white” is typically able to contract a ton of botrytis without dropping acidity. The 2018 had around 20% botrytis infection, fermented on the skins for 7 days and aged in large Hungarian oak. The 2017 was aged under flor with two weeks of maceration. The 2019 by contrast, has much less botrytis, only spent 24 hours on the skins, and had zero flor. Bottled unfiltered with zero additions, it's ripe, aromatic, and structured.
