Oremus Tokaji Aszú 2008 5PTT

With a history of mythification quite parallel to that of Vega Sicilia in Spanish wines, the whole sector agreed on the appropriateness of the acquisition of the Hungarian firm by this winery from Valladolid.

In 1993, just three years after the fall of communism, the Álvarez family arrived in Hungary and founded Tokaj-Oremus Viñedos y Bodegas. The estate's activities are centered in Tolcsva, where - connected to the labyrinth of subway cellars that have existed since the 13th century - the new winery was built in 1999 and the Álvarez family devoted much attention to the careful and respectful study of this wine in order to learn about its production process and its history. For the management of the new project, which revolves around one of the best located and most symbolic vineyards in the region, the Álvarez family recruited a professional team that knew the terroir very well, and sought out an experienced and entirely dedicated local winemaker to place at the head of this exciting adventure.A fascinating wine in many ways, both in the conscientiousness of its production and in the countless range of aromas and flavors it displays. Sourced from vineyards that are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site and aged in centuries-old subway galleries, it is considered one of the best in the world. Of the three tokaji that we offer you at ORTEGA1939 (3, 5 and 6 puttonyos), this is the one with the most intermediate sweetness. It is still based on the measures of hundreds of years ago by adding to the base must 5 baskets (puttonyos) of 25 kilos each of Aszú grapes harvested one by one and covered with Botrytis.
