As far as we know, Tokaj’s first Aszú wine – sweet wine from botrytised grapes – was made almost four centuries ago, in 1630. And it was made in a vineyard called Oremus. Tokaji Aszú is the product of a two-stage fermentation. A base must of non-botrytised grapes is prepared first, and then the noble rot-affected berries added, swelling as they steep, before being pressed to small new oak barrels to complete the fermentation. The effect is a thrilling combination of richness and clarity. The base wine component contributes mouth-watering grapefruit and orange blossom flavours, which the botrytis element rounds out with decadent marmalade and fig.
Tokaji Oremus Aszú 5 Puttonyos 2008 is a complex sweet wine with aromas of exotic, white and stone fruits, notes of acacia and honey and balsamic hints. On the palate it’s flavorsome, full and glyceric. It shows a balanced acidity which allows it not to be cloying and makes it easy to drink. The finish is lingering and with delicious toasted touches, and hints of confectionary and applesauce.
A finely knit dessert wine, with backbone of lip-smacking acidity and a minerally underpinning of oyster shell and saline supporting flavors of white peach puree, tangerine, Marcona almond and candied ginger. This is loaded with flavor, expanding beautifully on the palate, but remains lithe and graceful throughout. Drink now through 2035. 4,375 cases made, 196 cases imported.
