Notes & Pairings
The bush trained Bakator vines were planted in 1909 in the Szerémség Wine region. When Maurer first started making wine from this site he joked that “I make the best and the worst Bakator” in that no one else was making any post phylloxera. The 2018 spent 7 days on the skins followed by one and half years in Hungarian oak barrel. It’s textured, has fruit and spice, is bone dry, and is under 12% alcohol. Much more tea like than the 2017, it’s an ideal wine for when you want something with skin contact, but don’t want to be bludgeoned with tannins and oxidative flavors.
