Oremus Tokaji Mandolás 2022
From the historic Oremus estate in Tokaj, Hungary, owned by Vega Sicilia, the Mandolás 2022 is a pioneering dry white from a region famed for sweet wines. Crafted from 100% Furmint, sourced from the Mandolás vineyard on volcanic clay soils, it’s hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel (80%) and new Hungarian oak (20%). Aged 6 months in oak with lees stirring, it offers a pale yellow hue and refined vibrancy.
Winemaking Process
Oremus’ innovative approach defines this wine. The 2022 vintage, from 50-year-old vines, undergoes gentle pressing and fermentation in 80% stainless steel and 20% new Hungarian oak barrels for 8–12 days. Aging for 6 months in 136-liter barrels with weekly lees stirring for the first 3 months adds texture, creating a crisp, mineral-driven wine with aging potential.
Tasting Notes
A crisp, mineral-driven white with vibrant citrus and floral notes, offering Tokaji elegance.
The nose reveals lemon zest, green apple, and white flowers, with hints of peach, fennel, and saline minerality. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and fresh, with lively acidity, a waxy texture, and flavors of citrus, pear, and a long, chalky finish.
