The Tokaj Oremus Aszu 5 Puttonyos is a Hungarian sweet liqueur wine, recognized for its quality. Made from grapes affected by noble rot, it features a balanced acidity and notes of dried apricots. Perfect for tastings and aging.
The Oremus winery, part of the Spanish group Vega Sicilia, produces this distinguished Tokaj Oremus Aszu 5 Puttonyos, one of the most appreciated sweet liqueur wines worldwide. This wine results from a traditional process originating from the prestigious Tokaj region in Hungary, where the grapes are affected by 'noble rot' (botrytis cinerea), a key factor in its production. The 5 Puttonyos Oremus stands out for its full-bodied and flavorful elixir, with subtle notes of dried apricots and a refreshing acidity that ensures it is not cloying. With a history dating back to 1630, the recognized quality of the Oremus vineyard has grown over the centuries. The Tokaj area, a mountain range in northeastern Hungary, is home to this winery. The Aszú wine production is rigorous and only takes place in favorable vintages. This wine is made by adding five baskets (puttonyos) of noble Aszú berries, each weighing 25 kg, hand-harvested and covered in Botrytis, to the base must. The process includes a maceration of 12 to 24 hours, followed by a gentle pressing. Fermentation occurs in new Hungarian oak barrels and can last up to a month. Aging is completed in 136 and 220-liter barrels for two years, with further bottle aging of 2 to 3 years. The Aszú 5 Puttonyos seeks the optimal balance between acidity and sugar, making it an excellent choice for aging and vertical tastings, allowing the evolution of each vintage to be appreciated.
