James Suckling: 92, Wine Spectator: 90
"This wine's name comes from the old way of referring to the vineyard from where it comes. Mandolás is one of the Oremus vineyards and it is only planted with Furmint, the noblest variety of the region. During the weeks leading up to the harvest, the state of ripening of the grape is systematically checked and the golden yellow, health and ripe bunches are picked. A must with great density is obtained using a delicate and gentle pressing. Fermentation is in new wood barrels, which are carefully prepared, and takes between 8 and 12 days. The wine is aged in 136-litre small barrels, which are typical of the region." —winemaker

"Green-apple, papaya, dried-lemon and lime-zest aromas. It’s medium-to full-bodied with tangy acidity. Textured and intense with a flavorful, saline finish. Drink or hold." —James Suckling
"A ripe and juicy note of Jonagold apple is layered with hints of beeswax, chive blossom and almond skin in this well-cut, medium-bodied white, which is lightly chalky in texture, with a saline-laced finish. Drink now through 2023. 9,900 cases made, 1,250 cases imported." —Wine Spectator
