Threshers® Vega Sicila Oremus Mandolás 2021 75cl – 8378939277565

Made from the Furmint grape variety, Mandolás has evolved since its first vintage in 2000. Improvements have been made at all stages, from the vineyard to its commercial release, harmoniously combining the latest wine-making techniques with age-old traditions.
In the vineyard, they look for plots with the right density of planting, paying special attention to the ripeness of the grapes to ensure a good selection of golden, ripe and healthy clusters. Their efforts to seek out old Furmint clones (sourced from the Petrács vineyard, more than 50 years old) also help to improve the quality of Mandolás every vintage.
The hand-selected grapes are gently pressed before fermentation, which takes place in new Hungarian oak barrels (20%) and stainless steel vats (80%). Seventy per cent of the wine is aged in Hungarian oak barrels for three months with weekly stirring of the lees (batonnage) and a further three months of complete rest.
Mandolás Furmint is a young, fruity wine with fresh aromas, yet it is full-bodied and expressive with bright acidity.
As 2021 was an extremely cold vintage, this Mandolás shows great freshness and floral aromas. Its vibrant acidity lends this wine enormous ageing potential.
