TOKAJ-OREMUS
LATE HARVEST 2022
TOKAJ • WINE FROM HUNGARY • FLORAL ELEGANCE AND HEAVENLY FRESHNESS
"The lightness and sensuality of Tokaj. A nobly sweet, vibrant, and jovial wine, crafted by Oremus to fuse fruity freshness with the subtle magic of orange blossom."
Leisurely Maturation, Tokaj's Freshness, and the Master Seal of Vega Sicilia
The Oremus Tokaji Late Harvest 2022 Sweet Wine was created with the intention of showcasing the freshest, most jovial, aromatic, and accessible side of one of the planet's most sacred wine regions. Meticulously crafted by the mythical Tokaj-Oremus winery—masterfully managed under the vision of Tempos Vega Sicilia—this elixir has its specific origin in selected vineyards within the prestigious Tokaj region in Hungary. It is emphatically defined as a sweet profile wine, obtained by the controlled delay of the harvest to allow the Furmint, Hárslevelű, Zéta, and Sárgamuskotály grape bunches to naturally concentrate under the autumn sun. With carefully managed 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 honeyed sweetness dances in perfect harmony with brilliant citrus acidity.
