Dominated by the Zemplén Mountains in northeastern Hungary, near the borders of Ukraine, the region, encompasses a total of 5,500 hectares of vineyards and includes 27 municipalities. It is triangular in shape and is bordered by Abaújszántó to the west, Tokaj to the south, and Sátoraljaujhely to the east. Tokaj Hegyalja (the golden chain of Tokaj mountains) was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2002. In the center of the triangle lies the village of Tolcsva, where the Oremus winery is located.
Oremus is the symbol and example of the rewarding of time, experience and knowledge, of the real expertise in the art of wine. Mandolás is a surprising wine. Its essence is young, ground-breaking, revolutionary and not frightened to explore... and is able to enrich the winemaking tradition of a region as distinguished as Tokaj.
A different wine that has managed to break from the past, giving impetus to Tokaj's new present, where dry white wines, led by Mandolás, are proving to be ground-breaking.
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. .

"There's a waxy edge to the lush flavors of poached white peach and quince fruit, walnut oil and lemon curd, while rapierlike acidity provides definition and fine form. Offers an intriguing interplay, with hints of white blossoms and baking spices lingering on the salty finish. Drink now through 2027. 9,450 cases made, 926 cases imported." - 91 Points, Wine Spectator
"This is dry and flinty with waxed lemons, sliced apples, cream and beeswax. Medium- to full-bodied, crunchy and steady with vivid acidity cutting through, yet there is ripe fruit here and a creamy character. Lingering finish. Drink now." - 92 Points, James Suckling
