Oremus Tokaji Late Harvest 2022 (1x50cl)

From the esteemed Oremus estate, a Hungarian property under the ownership of Vega Sicilia, the Tokaji Late Harvest 2022 exemplifies the region's capacity for exquisite sweet wines. Situated in the historic Tokaj region, Oremus benefits from the unique microclimate created by the confluence of the Bodrog and Tisza rivers, fostering the development of noble rot (Botrytis cinerea) essential for this style.

The Late Harvest designation indicates grapes, primarily Furmint and Hárslevelű, are left on the vine beyond typical ripeness, allowing for concentration of sugars and flavours. While less intensely botrytised than the famed Aszú wines, this expression offers a vibrant balance of sweetness and acidity, often undergoing fermentation and maturation in traditional Hungarian oak barrels to impart further complexity and texture.

Tasting notes

The Oremus Tokaji Late Harvest 2022 presents a luminous golden hue. On the nose, intricate aromas of dried apricot, candied orange peel, and honey are interwoven with delicate floral undertones and a hint of minerality. The palate is defined by a harmonious interplay of luscious sweetness and refreshing acidity, revealing layers of ripe stone fruit, marmalade, and a subtle spice note from oak ageing. The finish is long, clean, and remarkably persistent, making this 50cl bottle an ideal accompaniment to fruit tarts or blue cheeses.
