Vintage Character From the historic slopes of Tokaj, the 2023 Oremus Tokaji Furmint 'Mandolás' represents a modern revolution in dry Hungarian white winemaking. A dry and warm summer in 2023 allowed the Furmint grapes to reach optimum ripeness while retaining their signature electric acidity. This distinctive dry white expression derives its complexity from the volcanic clay and rhyolite tuff soils of the Mandolás vineyard, where high altitude and optimal sun exposure yield grapes of remarkable concentration and stony minerality.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Boasting an aromatic profile rich in green apple, ripe pear, and wild white flowers, this wine reveals a beautifully textured palate shaped by light oak aging and lees stirring. Crisp acidity is balanced by a creamy mouthfeel, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish laced with hints of fresh hazelnut and wet stone. It pairs exceptionally well with grilled sea bass in lemon-herb butter or classic Cantonese crispy roast pork belly.
Winery Background Established in the 13th century and revitalized in 1993 by Spain's legendary Tempos Vega Sicilia, Oremus seamlessly blends deep-rooted Hungarian tradition with modern prestige. Hand-harvested Furmint grapes undergo gentle pressing and fermentation in traditional Hungarian oak barrels, followed by careful lees stirring to build structure. This meticulous approach has made Mandolás a benchmark for dry Tokaji, proving that this historic sweet wine region is equally capable of producing world-class dry whites.
