When he tasted it, Louis XIV proclaimed Tokaj "the king of wines and the wine of kings." The legend of Tokaj has grown over its 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 one that receives the greatest universal recognition. Product of the Oremus terroir, the nectar of Oremus stands out among all the wines of Aszú. It is an incredibly rich drink, incomparable in the world. It has a low alcohol content (2% to 3%), since not all the concentrated sugar in it reaches fermentation, and it is not unusual to find 500 grams or more of residual sugar per liter. The Aszú berries are individually harvested. We must not forget that each harvester will collect between 5 and 10 kg of grapes per day. The berries rest for 15 to 20 days and the slight pressure exerted by the weight of the grapes themselves causes the extraction of the juice they contain. The must is then transferred to 50-liter glass containers and left to ferment very slowly. After a year, it is transferred to 68-liter Átalag barrels, where it will continue to mature. Finally, it ages in the bottle on a journey that can last even decades. Eszencia is the nectar of Tokaj and the soul of Oremus wines. Pure concentration and intensity.
