Oremus Mandolás Dry Furmint 2023
The Oremus Mandolás Dry Furmint is a brilliantly crisp and refreshing white wine from Hungary. While the region of Tokaj is most famous for producing extremely sweet dessert wines, this particular bottle is completely dry. Made entirely from the native Furmint grape, it is a fantastic alternative for anyone who usually drinks Chablis or crisp Sauvignon Blanc and wants to try something slightly different. Pouring a glass reveals a wonderfully bright and lively profile. Expect a really clean mouthful of crisp green apple, fresh lemon and lime, all rounded off perfectly by a gentle hint of toasted almond. Because a small portion of the wine is aged in wooden barrels, it feels smooth and rich in the mouth, but still finishes with a brilliantly sharp, mouthwatering freshness that leaves you wanting another sip. This is a superb white to keep chilled in the fridge for a weekend dinner. It pairs absolutely perfectly with a creamy homemade fish pie, a classic Friday night battered cod and chips, or a simple roast chicken.
