Fodor - Maurer glides into the glass with delicate straw-yellow tones and fine, lively bubbles. In the light, an elegant sparkle appears that awakens anticipation. On the nose, a delicate bouquet of white blossoms, fresh meadow herb spice, and a hint of citrus zest unfolds. Behind this, nuances of green apple and delicate pear emerge, very clearly structured and precisely defined.

On the palate, this Serbian sparkling wine presents itself as wonderfully straightforward and animating. The perlage is fine and continuous and, together with the lively acidity, creates impressive tension. The taste remains dry, with juicy hints of lime, yellow apple, and a touch of stone fruit, accompanied by delicate floral tones. The mouthfeel appears silky and smooth, the texture carries the wine effortlessly over the tongue and lends it an elegant lightness.

The tannins in this white sparkling wine are hardly noticeable; instead, a crystal-clear freshness dominates. The finish is long and precise, with citrus notes, fine minerality, and a delicate floral trace that lingers for a long time. This style is consistently geared toward tension, finesse, and a finely balanced interplay of acidity.

The Welschriesling (Olaszrizling) grape variety comes from the traditional Subotica-Horgoš growing region in northern Serbia.

Production of Fodor by Maurer

The grapes for Fodor come from the Subotica-Horgoš growing region in northern Serbia. The climate is warm, with plenty of sunshine and noticeable temperature differences between day and night. These contrasts concentrate the aromas in the berries and result in clear fruit and lively acidity. The soils consist of sandy and loamy layers, in part with calcareous components, which lend the grape variety fine minerality and a distinctive structure.

Harvesting is selective, so that only ripe, aromatic grapes make it to the cellar. Careful hand-picking provides the basis for particularly clean musts with high aromatic intensity. The grapes quickly reach the press, where a gentle pressing process separates the clear must from the skins. This preserves the delicate aromatic spectrum of white blossoms, citrus, and pome fruit.

Fermentation takes place in a controlled manner at moderate temperatures in order to bring out the fresh fruit and the typical varietal aromatics of Welschriesling with precision. The wine then acquires its perlage through a second fermentation in a pressure tank. This tank maturation preserves the radiant freshness, emphasizes the floral notes, and shapes the fine mousse that defines the character of this sparkling wine.

Wood plays only a minor role in this wine, or is omitted entirely, so that no heavy roasted aromas overshadow the radiant clarity. The winemaker pursues a purist, terroir-driven style that places origin at the forefront. The focus is on precision, tension, and a linear flavor profile without overblown richness.

Through careful filtration and a gentle addition of sulfur dioxide, stability and aromatic protection are achieved without impairing the freshness. After a short resting phase in the tank, the sparkling wine is bottled and sealed with a classic cork that gives the product a refined, high-quality finish. The artistic bottle design rounds off the artisanal character and makes Fodor - Maurer a real eye-catcher on any table.

Serving recommendations for Fodor by Maurer

This sparkling wine pairs excellently with light-colored, delicate dishes. Especially appealing is the combination with delicate fish dishes, such as poached fish with citrus butter or light seafood salads. Fine poultry dishes with fresh herbs, crisp summer salads, or vegetable antipasti also enter into a harmonious dialogue with this wine. Mild fresh cheese variations and light vegetarian starters are likewise ideal companions.

As an aperitif, this wine opens an evening with friends or family in style. At receptions, weddings, or summer garden parties, the fine perlage creates a festive mood and elegant lightness. As a companion to brunch, picnics, or a relaxed weekend on the terrace, this sparkling wine also brings fresh accents to the glass.

For optimal enjoyment, a serving temperature of 5 to 7 degrees Celsius is recommended. In a high-quality sparkling wine glass, the aroma unfolds most impressively, as the perlage is concentrated and the fine blossom and citrus notes are elegantly showcased. If served too warm, the freshness fades, whereas a slightly cool serving temperature makes the wine appear particularly radiant.

This sparkling wine is also suitable for short-term storage in a cool, dark place with a constant temperature. Storing the bottle horizontally keeps the cork elastic and preserves the wine’s internal balance. Within a few years after disgorgement, Fodor shows its full aromatic brilliance, with fresh fruit, delicate perlage, and clear structure.

Whether as a stylish aperitif, a versatile food companion, or a gift for wine lovers: Fodor - Maurer unites Serbian origin, artistic design, and precise cellar work into a sparkling wine with a distinctive character and long presence on the palate.
