HISTORY Oremus, a renowned winery located in the geographical center of the Tokaj-Hegyalja region in north-eastern Hungary, was established by the Álvarez family in 1993, just three years after the fall of communism. The winery, which is based in the town of Tolcsva, is known for its respect for the history and tradition of Tokaj wine, often described as “the wine of kings and king of wines”. The Álvarez family introduced modernization and technological updates to the winery while striving to preserve its tradition. The winery, which was built in 1999, is connected to a labyrinth of cellars dating back to the 13th century. The vineyard, first mentioned for its greatness in 1630, is one of the most iconic in the region and enjoys universal recognition. The exceptional winemaking conditions of the Tokaj region earned it World Heritage status from UNESCO in 2002. The Álvarez family, in managing this project, recruited a professional team with deep knowledge of the land and appointed an experienced local winemaker to lead it.
VINEYARDS & WINEMAKING Mandolás is a wine made from the Furmint grape variety, evolving since its first vintage in 2000. It's a product of modern winemaking harmoniously coexisting with ancestral tradition. Specific vineyard plots are selected, and the grape ripening is closely monitored to ensure the selection of healthy, golden, ripe bunches. The wine undergoes 30% fermentation in new Hungarian oak barrels and 70% in stainless steel tanks, with 70% of the wine aged in oak barrels for 3 months.
Mandolás Furmint is a young, fruity wine with a fresh nose and aroma, but with body and a lively tone of acidity. It's suitable for drinking now, but can be aged for up to 15 years if stored under ideal conditions. The recommended drinking temperature is 18 ºC/ 64 ºF.
