Tokaj, Hungary

Made from the Furmint grape variety, Mandolás has been evolving from the first vintage in 2000 right up to the 2020 vintage. Improvements have been made to every process, from the vineyard up to its launch to market; the most modern winemaking coexisting in perfect harmony with an ancestral tradition.

We selected specific plots in the vineyard with a suitable planting density, closely monitoring the grape ripening, in order to obtain the best possible selection of healthy, golden, ripe bunches. The work to select old Furmint clones (sourced from the over 50-year-old Petrács vineyard) also helps improve the quality of Mandolás from vintage to vintage.

The hand-picked bunches are gently pressed, with 30 % fermentation in new Hungarian oak barrels and 70 % in stainless steel tanks. 70 % of the wine is aged in oak barrels for 3 months, stirring the lees every week ("batonnage"), before being left untouched for a further 3 months.

Mandolás Furmint is a young, fruity wine with a fresh nose and aroma, but with body and a lively tone of acidity.
