Oremus Mandolas Tokaji Dry Furmint 2020
(Tokaj, Hungary) - [DM 97] [WE 93] [JS 92]

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.

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.

A must with great density is obtained using a delicate and gentle pressing. Fermentation is in new wood barrels, which are carefully prepared, and takes between 8 and 12 days.

The wine is aged in 136-litre small barrels, which are typical of the region.

97 Points - Decanter:
Energising salty ripe fruit and crushed oyster shells layer together nicely with a spectrum of earthy and nutty flavours. Beaming with concentration and power with a searing line of yellow citrus acidity and a saline finish. Very enjoyable.


93 Points - Wine Enthusiast:
Light straw to the eye, this wine has a nose of ripe summer peach, vanilla bean and saline. It is bright from entry to finish, with pineapple, honeydew, butterscotch, fennel bulb and ground white pepper flavors that evaporate into a jasmine-infused finish. — Mike DeSimone

92 Points - James Suckling:
Lemon, brioche and crushed stones on the nose, followed by a creamy, medium-bodied palate that’s cut through by a laser beam of high acidity. Textured, with a linear and mouthwatering finish. Drink now.
