THE NAME OF THIS WINE HAS ITS ORIGINS IN THE ANCIENT WAY OF NAMING THE VINEYARD FROM WHICH IT COMES. MANDOLÁS IS ONE OF THE VINEYARDS OF OREMUS, A HUNGARIAN WINERY BELONGING TO TEMPOS VEGA SICILIA SINCE 1993. THE VINEYARD IS PLANTED WITH THE FURMINT GRAPE, THE MAIN COMPONENT OF TOKAJI SWEETS. THAT IS WHY MANDOLÁS IS SO CURIOUS, SINCE IT IS A DRY WHITE. THIS 2021 VINTAGE WAS EXTREMELY COLD AND, IN ADDITION TO ITS DELICATE FLORAL AROMAS, IT STANDS OUT FOR ITS FRESHNESS AND VERY PRESENT ACIDITY, A SIGN OF ENORMOUS AGING POTENTIAL.
A FASCINATING WINE IN MANY WAYS MADE BY OREMUS, A HUNGARIAN WINERY OWNED BY VEGA SICILIA. COMING FROM VINEYARDS THAT ARE PART OF THE UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE CATALOG AND RAISED IN CENTURIES-OLD UNDERGROUND GALLERIES, IT IS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE BEST IN THE WORLD. OF THE THREE TOKAJI THAT WE PUT AT YOUR DISPOSAL AT BODEBOCA (3, 5 AND 6 PUTTONYOS), THIS IS THE ONE THAT HAS AN INTERMEDIATE SWEETNESS. IT IS STILL BASED ON MEASUREMENTS FROM HUNDREDS OF YEARS AGO BY ADDING TO THE BASE MUST 5 'PUTTONYOS' (BASKETS) OF 25 KILOS EACH OF 'ASZÚ' GRAPES HARVESTED ONE BY ONE AND COVERED WITH 'BOTRYTIS' (NOBLE ROT). PRESENTED IN 50 CL FORMAT.
