2021 Ma'd Moser Furmint Dry MM55

MÁD MOSER is a winery in the Tokaj region of Hungary, founded by the collaboration of Mad Wine and wine expert Lenz M. Moser. The aim is to introduce a new interpretation of dry Furmint wines from this historic wine region to both national and international markets. We have been importers of the wines from Lenz Moser's portfolio for years, such as Chang Yu, New Chapter and the latest addition are now the wines of MA'D Moser.

The team behind this wine are Rita & Lenz, Karoly & genius Gabor (Mad Wine Winery). The common goal is to create a new type of furmint that will put Tokaj on the world map as an iconic player in the non-sweet category – on par with the best Burgundies, Californian Chardonnay, New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, German Rieslings and Austrian Grüners. This wine aims at the iconic world of white wines from all over the world.

It all started with Lenz's passion for the region - his father took him there when he was 14. His family had done a lot of business with Hungary for generations. 7 years ago, the love for Tokaj was rekindled when Lenz worked for a while with one of the big players. During this assignment, he was introduced to Rita Takaro, who was born in the region and dedicated her life to the development of the region and have remained friends ever since. Lenz and Rita went on a discovery trip to Tokaj together and decided to start their project from Tokaj. They found a great partner in Karoly Kovacs, owner of the famous Mad Wine in Mád, and Gabor Urban, his excellent winemaker.

The grapes for this wine come from the highly regarded PDO-classified vineyards of Szent Tamás, Nyúlászó and Király, located around the village of Mád. The soils consist mainly of volcanic rock and clay minerals, such as zeolite and rhyolite, sourced from the South Zemplén Mountains. The MM55 was fermented and matured for 8 months in 300-litre Hungarian oak barrels, 70% of which were new oak, with varying levels of toast to enhance the wine’s complexity. This approach adds subtle vanilla notes that temper the Furmint’s lively acidity and blend harmoniously with the cuvée’s considerable minerality and extract.
The Ma'D Moser MM55 is a bright straw yellow in the glass with a brilliant floral bouquet on the nose with notes of fresh lemon, lime, gooseberry, white peach and hints of lime blossom, complemented by a touch of vanilla. On the palate, the MM55 is fruit-driven and opulent, with flavours of mandarin, vineyard peach and a subtle spicy note. The wine offers a rich texture, with a balanced acidity and a long, fresh finish. The MM55 2021 is excellent to pair with grilled lobster, pork belly and even Moroccan tagine.
