2017 Tokaji Aszú, 5 Puttonyos, Oremus, Hungary

A white grape variety grown in Hungary and Slovakia and the main ingredient of Tokaji Aszú. It is an early budding late ripening variety and and is particularly susceptible to botrytis.

The Tokaj region is in the northeast of Hungary and is best known for making Tokaji wine. This sweet wine is one of the world's oldest and most famous wine styles. Rich in honey and marmalade flavours, the refreshing acidity makes it a great food match and helps it age long-term.

The Oremus wine estate has a long and colourful history and Tokaji was being produced there as early as 1620 by a Calvinist priest called Mate Szepsy Lacko. In 1993 the 33 hectare estate was bought by a Spanish consortium headed by David Álvarez, owner of Vega Sicilia.
