Vintage Character The 2022 Oremus Tokaji Furmint 'Petracs' is an extraordinary dry single-vineyard white from Tolcsva in Hungary’s historic Tokaj appellation. A warm, dry growing season concentrated the fruit on ancient bush vines while timely harvesting preserved brilliant natural tension and aromatic clarity. Sourced from the precipitous Petrács parcel, where weathered volcanic andesite and tuff soils dominate, this distinctive terroir imparts an indelible smoky minerality and immense textural depth.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the nose, it unfolds captivating aromas of ripe white peach, green pear, lime blossom, toasted almond, and crushed flint. The palate is layered and commanding, balancing opulent fruit concentration with electric citrus acidity that carries through to a long, saline-tinged mineral finish. This sophisticated white pairs exquisitely with pan-seared turbot in brown butter, roasted guinea fowl with wild mushrooms, or Cantonese steamed sea bass with ginger and scallions.
Winery Background Crafted under the visionary stewardship of Spain’s prestigious Tempos Vega Sicilia, Tokaj Oremus revitalized one of Central Europe’s greatest historic wine estates. Grapes from the Petrács vineyard are painstakingly hand-harvested and sorted to retain only pristine berries before gentle pressing. Fermented and matured on fine lees in Hungarian oak barrels with periodic stirring, the wine seamlessly unites traditional Tokaj craftsmanship with world-class elegance. Its mineral profile also rewards careful cellaring and thoughtful service.
