TOKAJ • HUNGARY • FLORAL ELEGANCE AND HEAVENLY FRESHNESS
"The lightness and sensuality of Tokaj. A nobly sweet, vibrant and jovial wine, crafted by Oremus to merge fruity freshness with the subtle magic of orange blossom."
Leisurely Maturation, the Freshness of Tokaj, and the Master Seal of Vega Sicilia
The Oremus Tokaji Vendimia Tardía (Late Harvest) 2022 Sweet Wine is born with the intention of showcasing the freshest, most jovial, aromatic, and accessible side of one of the planet's most revered wine regions. Meticulously crafted by the legendary Tokaj-Oremus winery — masterfully guided by the vision of Tempos Vega Sicilia — this elixir specifically originates from selected vineyards within the prestigious Tokaj region in Hungary. It is emphatically defined as a sweet wine, obtained by the controlled delay of the harvest to allow the Furmint, Hárslevelű, Zéta, and Sárgamuskotály grape clusters to naturally concentrate under the autumn sun. With meticulous fermentation in stainless steel tanks and subtle aging for about 6 months in Hungarian oak barrels, Oremus sculpts a sweet wine of astonishing lightness, where the honeyed sweetness dances in perfect harmony with brilliant citrus acidity.
