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.

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.
MA'D MOSER is a new wine from the Tokaj region, from partners Mad Wine and Lenz Moser.

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.

This wine is made from 100% Furmint grapes, an indigenous Hungarian variety known for its fresh acidity and minerality. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, with yeast contact until bottling. A small percentage (10%) of the wine is aged in new 300-litre Hungarian oak barrels, which adds complexity without overpowering the fruity characteristics.

In the glass the Dry Furmint MM5 has a beautiful straw yellow color and already radiates freshness in the glass. The nose has a beautiful floral bouquet of fresh lemon, lime, gooseberry, white peach, hints of lime blossom, but also exotic harmony, perhaps a little grapefruit and a touch of vanilla. Furmint at its best - harmonious and complex. On the palate the wine is medium to full bodied with nutty-spicy lemon/lime with an abundance of fruit flavors - in harmony with the balance of elegance, real freshness and complexity. The Furmint shows itself beautifully with its delicate aromas with a super clean and long fresh, spicy finish and remarkably salty minerality, but that is just crazy given the MA'D appellations with its rocky terroir of granite, slate and shale.

The MÁD MOSER Furmint Dry MM5 is a modern interpretation of the traditional Furmint grape, presenting the freshness and complexity of the Tokaj region in an accessible way. This wine is an excellent accompaniment to seafood, shellfish, sushi, spicy dishes, chicken and various vegetables. Serve at a temperature of 8-10°C to fully develop the fresh and fruity aromas.

Tokaj is famous for its centuries-old wine history, and Ma’d Moser adds a fresh, modern layer to it.

Ma’d Moser winery in Tokaj

The Ma’d Moser winery is a relatively new name in Tokaj, but its roots run deep. It was born out of the collaboration between the Austrian Moser wine family and the Hungarian Tokaj region. That connection brings together experience, tradition, and new ideas. The village of Mád, where the vineyards are located, has been the beating heart of Tokaj for centuries and breathes wine culture in every corner.

MÁD MOSER was founded through the partnership between Mad Wine and wine expert Lenz M. Moser. The goal is to introduce a new interpretation of dry Furmint wines from this historic wine region to both national and international markets. MÁD MOSER focuses entirely on dry Furmint wines, aiming to surprise and captivate wine lovers worldwide with this fresh style.

History of Ma’d Moser

Tokaj is one of the oldest classified wine regions in the world. As early as the 17th century, Tokaji Aszú was exported to royal courts across Europe. Ma’d Moser builds on that legacy but also looks ahead. The winery was established to combine the unique conditions of Tokaj with a fresh and international outlook. As a result, classic grapes like Furmint and Hárslevelű are given a contemporary stage.

Vineyards and grape varieties

The vineyards of Ma’d Moser surround the village of Mád, where volcanic soils dominate the terroir. This volcanic bedrock gives the wines their signature tension and minerality. Furmint takes the lead: a grape that excels both in dry styles and in sweet Aszú wines. Hárslevelű is also planted, often adding a softer tone to blends. Together they form the recognizable Tokaj profile: freshness, depth, and a long finish.

Climate in Tokaj

The Tokaj region has a mild continental climate. Summers are warm, winters cold. What makes the area truly special are the autumn mists. These fogs, rising from the Bodrog and Tisza rivers, trigger the noble rot (Botrytis cinerea) needed for the famous sweet Tokaji Aszú. For the dry wines, it’s the mix of sun and coolness that counts: ripe grapes that still keep their fresh acidity. That contrast gives the wines their energy.

Fun facts about Ma’d Moser

  • The Austrian Moser family is also known for their biodynamic vineyards in the Kremstal.
  • The winery combines Hungarian tradition with a modern, international approach to winemaking.
  • In addition to the well-known Aszú, Ma’d Moser produces crisp, dry Furmint that is gaining attention worldwide.
  • The village of Mád is considered one of the most beautiful wine spots in Tokaj, with historic cellars and baroque churches.
