The Oremus winery, a gem in the Tokaji vineyard and owned by the Spanish group Vega Sicilia, presents this Vino Tokaj Oremus Aszu 5 puttonyos, one of the most highly valued sweet liqueur wines in the world. It is produced according to traditional methods in that prestigious region of Hungary, with grapes affected by "noble rot" (botrytis cinerea). The Oremus 5 Puttonyos is a tasty and full elixir, with notes of dried apricots and enough acidity for the wine to be enjoyed without being cloying.

The legend of Tokaj has only grown in its more than four hundred years of history; but it wasn't until the year 1630 when 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. Oremus Winery is located at its geographical center. The production of Aszú wine (wine of tears) 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 still relies on measures from hundreds of years ago, adding to the base must, 5 baskets (puttonyos) with 25 kg of individually harvested noble Aszú berries covered in Botrytis.

The grapes are macerated for 12-24 hours until they increase in size, and then lightly pressed. Fermentation takes place in new Hungarian oak barrels. It is a slow process that can last up to a month. The aging phase is completed for two to years in 136 and 220-liter barrels, and finishes with 2-3 more years in the bottle. Aszú 5 Puttonyos is a wine where the goal 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.
