What it pairs with

  • Pan-fried pike-perch with almonds
    Almond notes in wine and garnish align; the mineral acidity pairs with freshwater fish.
  • Chicken with lemon herb sauce
    The wine's citrus-almond register complements light white-meat preparations.
  • Grilled asparagus with hollandaise
    Mineral salinity cuts through the hollandaise while echoing asparagus's green notes.

History

Mandolás (meaning 'almond grove') is one of the oldest recorded dűlő names in the Tolcsva valley and is the flagship dry Furmint of Oremus, acquired by Tempos Vega Sicilia in 1993. The vineyard's character was identified by the Vega Sicilia ownership as the estate's flagship dry-wine expression.
