A new path full of soul
Ethereal yet determined. Its opulence and structure promise long development. A "grand vin" that expresses the particularly captivating face of Furmint as it reflects the uniqueness of the terroir. From the Petrács vineyard where not only semi-precious gems adorn the ground everywhere, but quite exceptional wines are born under caring, competent hands.
Description
Petrács is the name of our best vineyard in the village of Tolcsva. The name Petrács comes from the former owner of the site, Baron Ernest von Petrasch, Major General of the Austro-Hungarian Imperial Army, to whom this magical enclave was bestowed in 1762.
When Oremus was looking for the best sites for dry wine production, the uniqueness of Petrács stood out. On the one hand, the bedrock is andesite and the soil is rich in semi-precious stones, which give the wine its great mineral character. On the other hand, this vineyard is home to our oldest vines. These traditional 60-year-old bush vines have a high planting density. As a result, and due to the steepness of the slope, only humans and horses can farm this vineyard, preserving the centuries-old tradition of manual labour.
The hand-picked grapes are gently pressed and fermented in French and Hungarian oak barrels. The wine is subsequently aged in oak barrels for 5 months, stirring the lees every week (batonnage), before resting undisturbed for a further 4 months. The wine is racked in August and continues to age in stainless steel tanks for a further 6 months before being bottled in February.
Full-bodied and spicy, Petrács Furmint is a wine with pure and crystalline mineral flavours. Deep and persistent, it is concentrated and saline on the palate.
The 2 years of ageing bring out the complexity of this PETRÁCS wine, born in a cold vintage.General information
