Nose

Aromas include citrus blossom and beeswax along with a hint of savory herbs.

Palate

On the palate, it showcases depth and focus with balanced acidity, lemon zest, and crushed limestone minerals that resolve on the long finish. A precise wine with high stature and complexity.

Gloriously refined. Bright, fresh attack with notes of lime and stone minerality.

Growing Conditions

The Tokaj legend has grown and grown in its four hundred years of history; but it was not until 1630, when the greatness of the Oremus vineyard was first spoken of. Today, it is the one with greatest universal acclaim.

Mandolás, made from the grape variety Furmint, has evolved since its earliest vintage in 2000 into our latest release, 2018. A series of improvements have taken place in all its processes, from the vineyard up to its release, coexisting in perfect harmony, the most modern winemaking and an ancestral tradition.

Specific plot selection was performed in the vineyard, at nearly 200 meters above sea level,
protected by the northern winds and an adequate planting density. Grape maturity is deeply
cared for, in order to attain an optimal collection of healthy golden ripe clusters.

The effort to select old Furmint clones from Petracs, our 100-year-old vineyard, is crutial to further improve the quality of Mandolás in each vintage.

Mandolás is the result of unique climate and soils in a world that demands a laborious and careful winemaking.

After a long winter, 2018 brought the warmest April and May in recorded history. The summer was also slightly warmer than average without extremely high temperatures. These conditions resulted in the earliest harvest ever for Mandolás at Oremus, starting on the 23rd of August and ending in early September.

During the weeks leading up to the harvest, the state of ripening of the grape is systematically checked and the golden yellow, health and ripe bunches are picked.

The Mandolás legend continues.

Tokaj-OremusMandolás

Mandolás is a surprising wine. Its essence is young, ground-breaking, revolutionary and not frightened to explore... and is able to enrich the winemaking tradition of a region as distinguished as Tokaj. A different wine that has managed to break from the past, giving impetus to Tokaj's new present, where dry white wines, led by Mandolás, are proving to be ground-breaking. This wine's name comes from the old way of referring to the vineyard from where it comes. Mandolás is one of the Oremus vineyards and it is only planted with Furmint, the noblest variety of the region.
