Oremus Dry Furmint Petracs

The hand-picked bunches are gently pressed, before fermentation in new French and Hungarian oak barrels. The wine is subsequently aged in oak barrels for three months, stirring the lees every week (“batonnage”), before being left untouched for another five months. The wine is racked from the barrels in August before aging continues in stainless steel tanks for an additional six months until bottling in February.

Petracs Furmint is a full-bodied, spicy wine with perceptions of pure, crystalline mineral flavor. It is deep, long and compresses on the palate in concentrated and mineralized form.

This wine is suitable for drinking now, but it can be aged for up to 15 years if stored in the ideal conditions.

Oremus Dry Furmint Petracs 2018	96 Decanter A warm welcome to Petracs, only in its second vintage. Definitely the big brother of Mandolás. The volcanic soils of the vineyard are densely planted at 7,000 vines per hectare, with tall bush vines. An individual expression of Furmint, very perfumed with a vividly pure palate. Fermented in French and Hungarian oak, one-third new, and aged for a further 12 months on lees with little batonnage. Winemaker Gonzalo Iturriaga emphasises that stainless steel can give a metallic edge to the palate, while oak encourages cremosity.	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
Oremus Dry Furmint Petracs 2019	93 James Suckling A fine layer of toast adds a smoky edge to the fresh lemon and mineral allure. Serious, pure and textured with bright, taut acidity that makes you come back for more. Tangy and fresh. Drink or hold. 94 Wine Enthusiast This wine offers a bouquet of pineapple, green apple and grated ginger. The ginger note is apparent on the palate as well, along with starfruit, nectarine, lavender and orange zest flavors that culminate in a radiant finish.
