2022 Mandolás Dry Furmint

Mandolás Dry Furmint 

From the historic vineyards of Tokaj, this dry expression of Furmint captures both precision and quiet power, showcasing the grape beyond its famed sweet Aszú identity.

Appearance

Bright, pale lemon with youthful green reflections. Crystal clear and vibrant in the glass, with slow-forming legs hinting at texture and extract.

Aroma

Lifted and mineral-driven. Notes of green apple, quince and ripe pear lead the profile, layered with citrus zest, white peach and a subtle floral lift. Underneath lies a distinctive volcanic minerality – flint, wet stone and a light smoky nuance – supported by gentle vanilla and toasted almond from careful oak integration.

Palate

Dry, focused and structured. A spine of high, refreshing acidity drives flavours of crisp orchard fruit, lemon peel and nectarine. The mid-palate broadens with a slight creamy texture, balanced by firm phenolic grip typical of Furmint. Mineral tension carries through to a long, saline finish with a delicate touch of spice and toast.

Food Pairing

An exceptional partner for:

• Grilled sea bass or roasted cod with lemon butter

• Seared scallops with cauliflower purée

• Roast chicken with tarragon

• Pork tenderloin with apple compote

• Soft-rind cheeses such as Brie or Chaource

Its acidity and mineral backbone make it particularly strong with richer seafood dishes and creamy sauces, while the structure allows it to stand alongside white meats.

A compelling example of dry Tokaj — precise, textural and gastronomic.
