Mandolás goes against the grain: we have been making this dry white wine since 2000 at the Oremus estate in the
historic Tokaj region of Hungary, renowned for its sweet wines. Furmint, an indigenous variety famous for its naturally
sweet wines, offers a new interpretation in Mandolás: a dry wine with ageing potential. Ancestral tradition in perfect
harmony with state-of-the-art winemaking techniques.
The best Furmint clones from the Petrács plot, the estate’s oldest vineyard, which is over 50 years old, are planted in
the Mandolás vineyards on the best soils and sites.When the grapes are balanced and perfectly ripe, the bunches are
hand-picked and selected on the vines. After a light pressing, alcoholic fermentation takes place in 80% stainless steel
tanks and 20% in new Hungarian oak barrels.
During the ageing period, 70% of the wine rests in Hungarian oak barrels for the first three months, with weekly lees stir-
ring or battonage, and for the following three months in perfect tranquility. 30% of the wine matures in stainless steel.
