Description
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 first vintage in 2001 until reaching vintage 2016, which is by far, the best release ever. A series of improvements has taken place in all of its processes, from the vineyard up to its release, coexisting in perfect harmony, the most modern winemaking and an ancestral tradition.
In the vineyard, we have performed specific plot selection at less than 200 meters above sea level, protected by the northern winds and an adequate planting density. Grape maturity level is deeply cared for, in order to attain optimal selection of healthy golden ripe clusters.
At winery level, changes in new oak barrel toasting, used in our fermentation process, along with frequent and controlled batonages, restores the minerality of the volcanic soil, characteristic of the region.
This is the fruit of a climate and soil, which is unique in the world, that requires a very laborious and careful production. The legend of Mandolás continues.
