2022 Maurer Skin Contact Kövidinka

Notes & Pairings

Planted in 1925 in what looks like pure beach sand, the combination of a super resilient local grape variety and low disease pressure make it one of the best price to quality ratio wines from the area. We’ve heard it described fondly as green apples meets rich mineral spa water, but with just 6 days of skin, it almost smells like a dead ringer for Spanish cider meets something umami and otherly. With 6 months in 500L barrel, there’s an additional spice and concentration despite the less than 10% alcohol. In some years most of this finds its way into blends, but in exceptional vintages we find it all on its own. Pungent, vibrant and yet pretty effortless to drink. Bottled unfined and unfiltered by gravity with zero additions.
