Tokaj Oremus Aszu Wine 5 puttonyos

The Oremus winery, a jewel of the Tokaji vineyard and owned by the Spanish group Vega Sicilia, presents this Oremus Aszu 5 puttonyos Tokaj wine, one of the most highly valued sweet liqueurs in the world.

It is produced according to the traditional method in that prestigious region of Hungary, with grapes affected by "noble rot" (botrytis cinerea).

The Oremus de 5 Puttonyos is a flavorful and full-bodied elixir, with notes of dried apricots and enough acidity to make the wine drinkable without being cloying.

The myth of Tokaj has only grown in its more than four hundred years of history; but it was not until 1630 that the greatness of the Oremus vineyard was first spoken of; today it is the most universally recognized.

The Tokaj region is located in a mountain range that occupies the northeastern part of Hungary.

Bodegas Oremus is located in its geographical center.

The production of Aszú wine (free-run wine) is a meticulous process that is only possible in good vintages and very special conditions that favor the development of "Botrytis cinerea" (noble rot).

It is still based on measurements from hundreds of years ago, adding to the base must, 5 baskets (puttonyos) with 25 kg of noble Aszú berries harvested one by one and covered with Botrytis.

The grapes are macerated for 12-24 hours until they increase in size, then they are lightly pressed.

Fermentation takes place in new Hungarian oak barrels.

It is a slow process that can take up to a month.

The aging phase is completed over two or more years in 136 and 220 liter barrels, and ends with 2-3 more years in the bottle.

Aszú 5 Puttonyos is a wine where the objective is to represent the best balance between acidity and sugar that the vintage can give us.

In this sense, it is the perfect wine to store and then compare vintages in vertical tastings.
