“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 a mixed field blend with 1-2 days of maceration and relatively short 7 months of aging in inox. It’s a table in the best possible use of that term. Furmint is the backbone, followed by ripe Bakator and Mézes Fehér with a kiss of botrytis, Slánkamenka and Szerémi Zöld for acid and aromatics, Olaszrizling for weight, and a little splash of Kövidinka for spice. It’s a celebration of local grapes done in a way that everyone can enjoy and afford to drink everyday. Bottled unfined and unfiltered by gravity with a little sulfur as well. Alcohol content: 13.2% Residual Sugar: 0.5 g/l Acidity: 5.13 g/l
