Undoubtedly, Aszú wines are a highlight of this family of great wines. Combining innovation, tradition and excellence , they become a unique and sublime product; patience is fundamental to obtain this exclusive wine. To obtain this Aszú wine it is essential to have good vintages , knowing that nature ensures rainfall at the end of summer and a sunny and windy period once autumn comes. These are essential conditions for the formation of noble grapes. For its elaboration, it is necessary that the berries increase their size thanks to the humidity and that they crack to give rise to"botrytis cinerea", necessary to obtain the famous noble rot. To obtain this wine, the same formula has been used for hundreds of years. To the base must, stored in a "Gönc" barrel, we add baskets , in Hungarianputtony, of 23 kilos of Aszú noble grains. The Aszú berries are then mashed with the must and left to settle for a day or two so that the grains swell and are passed on to the pressing. The aging of the Aszú takes place in subway cellars dug into the volcanic soil. The wine is aged for 2 to 3 years at a stable temperature and constant humidity. Once bottled, the Oremus Aszú is left to refine for a year in the bottle , which gives it the opportunity to begin a development that can last even several decades.If you want to continue enjoying Vega Sicilia , you can buy more products from this winery in ouronline gourmet store.
