A lively, sun-soaked field blend from Oszkár Maurer that captures the wild energy of the Szerémség hills. The Crazy Lud red opens with bright red berries—raspberry, cherry —layered with notes of dried herbs, and a whisper of smoke. Medium-bodied and supple, it glides across the palate with silky tannins and a refreshing lift, finishing with a touch of earthy spice that invites another sip. Aged in old Hungarian oak, it marries fruit purity with a gentle rustic edge—unfiltered, unfined, and full of character. The perfect companion for grilled food, sunshine, and good company.

Interesting Facts

Crazy Lud (translates to Goose from Hungarian) is the flagship field blend that serves as an entry into Oszkár’s world. The wine gets its name from the lake next to the vineyards in the Northern part of the country.
A lot of the vineyards in this region are bush-trained and cultivated by horses because no tractor can fit the narrow rows.

Clay instead of wax or foil

Oszkár’s obsession with ancient techniques combined with his rebellious attitude drove him to yet another invention - instead of plastic caps, or artificial waxes, he used clay to seal the top of the bottle. Probably the closest we ever get to the terroir from the comfort of our home.
The opening is as easy as a firm wax - drive the cross crew trough, pull the cork halfway, gently blow/wipe the clay that comes off, pull the cork and enjoy the wine

Vinification

The grapes are grown on old bush-wines resulting in a very low yield. They are hand harvested and de-stemmed soaked for 7 days to extract just the right amount of colour. Later, the juice ferments and ages in 350l old Hungarian oak barrels. The wine gets bottled unfined, unfiltered with a tiny addition of sulphur just before bottling.

A plush, sun-kissed red from Burgenland, bursting with juicy dark cherry, cocoa, and pecan notes — like indulging in Grandma’s homemade pie under a shady willow. The palate is soft, approachable, and textural, with bright fruit, gentle tannins, and a hint of spice. Playful yet layered, it’s irresistibly drinkable and full of charm.

This Kadarka from Oszkár Maurer is a beautifully balanced red that marries depth with elegance. The nose is rich and inviting, with dark fruit aromas of black cherry, plum, and a hint of spice, complemented by subtle earthy undertones. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with soft, velvety tannins that allow the vibrant acidity to shine through, giving it a lively, fresh character. The volcanic and limestone soils contribute a touch of minerality, while the 18 months of aging in old Hungarian oak barrels adds complexity and a soft finish.

Vinification

After the bunches were de-stemmed and pressed, the juice was fermenting spontaneously in open wooden vats for over 2 weeks. Then, the wine was transferred to 500l Zemplén oak barrels, where it aged on the lees for 6-8 months. Has been bottled unfined, unfiltered without the addition of SO2. Unfortunately due to heavy rainfall half of the harvest had to be discarded, which resulted in wines with more concentration.

Full of black fruit, imagine current and damson jam, paired with tertiary aromas like chocolate and truffle. Tastes almost like an Amarone with much higher acidity and precise balance, smooth and velvety tannins, a wine with real power!

This and a fireplace are a match made in heaven.
