Vintage Character From the historic volcanic slopes of the Tokaj region, the 2019 Oremus Tokaji Aszú 5 Puttonyos is a masterpiece of sweet winemaking. The 2019 vintage is considered exceptional for Tokaji, where a warm, dry summer followed by timely autumn rains allowed for the perfect development of Botrytis cinerea (noble rot) while preserving vibrant natural acidity. This sweet wine is shaped by Tokaj’s unique volcanic clay soils and the microclimate created by the Bodrog and Tisza rivers, which regularly blanket the vineyards in autumn mists.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing In the glass, it reveals a brilliant golden hue, unfurling complex aromas of candied apricot, orange peel, white blossoms, and a hint of fresh ginger. The palate is incredibly rich yet beautifully balanced, with a razor-sharp acidity that cuts through the honeyed sweetness, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish. Enjoy this legendary dessert wine alongside artisanal blue cheeses like Roquefort, classic French foie gras, or a traditional apricot tart.
Winery Background Oremus, meticulously revitalized by the legendary Spanish estate Vega Sicilia since 1993, honors centuries of Hungarian winemaking tradition with modern precision. The estate hand-picks individual botrytized Aszú berries berry-by-berry in multiple passes through the vineyard. The must is fermented and aged in traditional oak barrels in deep, subterranean, mold-covered cellars, creating a benchmark Tokaji that beautifully fuses historical heritage with world-class craftsmanship.
