Furmint "Mandolás"
This wine's name comes from the old way of referring to the vineyard from where the grapes are sourced. Mandolás is one of the Oremus' vineyards (the vines are 50+ years) and it is only planted with Furmint, the noblest variety of the region. Fermentation is in new wood barrels, which are carefully prepared, and takes between 8 and 12 days. The wine is then aged in 136-litre small barrels, which are typical of the region. The wine shows great freshness. It is dry and flinty with aromas of waxed lemons, sliced apples, cream and beeswax. Medium- to full-bodied, crunchy and steady with vivid acidity cutting through, yet there is ripe fruit here and a creamy character. While it drinks beautifully on release, it could also cellar for up to 15 years in proper conditions.
Oremus
“Tokaj, the wine of kings and king of wines” is how Louis XIV described it when he tasted it, and the legend of Tokaj has steadily grown ever since. The Oremus winery - which dates to 1620 - is located in the centre of the Tokaj-Hegyalja region, on a mountain chain in north-eastern Hungary. In 1993, the 33 hectare estate was bought by famed Spanish producer Vega-Sicilia.
