Tokaji Oremus Aszú 5 Puttonyos 2017 is one of the great sweet wines in the world, produced by the prestigious Oremus winery, part of the Vega Sicilia group, in the historic Hungarian region of Tokaj. This wine represents the highest tradition of the legendary Tokaji Aszú, which has been regarded for centuries as 'the wine of kings and the king of wines.'
It is mainly made from native grape varieties such as Furmint, Hárslevelű, and Zéta, sourced from grapes affected by noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), a natural phenomenon that allows for the concentration of sugars, aromas, and acidity in the fruit. The production involves manual grape harvesting and the wine ages slowly in small Hungarian oak barrels excavated in the historic underground cellars of Tokaj, contributing to extraordinary complexity and elegance.
On the nose, it exhibits intense aromas of honey, dried apricot, candied orange peel, white flowers, saffron, and delicate spicy and mineral notes. On the palate, it is silky, deep, and perfectly balanced between sweetness and freshness, with vibrant acidity that adds tension and a long, refined finish. Tokaji Oremus Aszú 5 Puttonyos 2017 is a wine of great sophistication and aging potential, ideal to accompany foie gras, blue cheeses, lightly sweet desserts, or simply to enjoy slowly as a meditative wine.
