Oremus Tokaji Aszú 3 Puttonyos 2016

Oremus Tokaji Aszú 3 Puttonyos 2016 is a sweet white wine from the prestigious Tokaj wine region in Hungary, produced by Oremus Winery, which has been part of the renowned Spanish wine group Tempos Vega Sicilia since 1993. The history of this emblematic vineyard dates back several centuries, with the exceptional quality of its grapes already recognised in 1630. Under the ownership of Vega Sicilia, Oremus has further established its reputation as one of the leading producers of sweet Tokaji wines, combining centuries-old winemaking traditions with exceptional precision and expertise.

Made from the grape varieties Furmint, Hárslevelű, Zéta and Sárgamuskotály, this wine comes from vineyards situated at approximately 200 metres above sea level, where climatic conditions in certain vintages favour the development of Botrytis cinerea, commonly known as noble rot. This natural phenomenon causes an extraordinary concentration of sugars, aromas and acidity in the grapes, resulting in sweet wines of remarkable complexity and outstanding ageing potential.

The production of Tokaji Aszú 3 Puttonyos 2016 follows a meticulous and traditional process. Grapes affected by noble rot are carefully selected by hand and added to the must according to the historic puttonyos system, which determines the quantity of Aszú berries used. Following careful maceration and gentle pressing, the wine undergoes slow fermentation in new Hungarian oak barrels.

The wine is then aged for two years in 136- and 200-litre oak barrels, followed by an additional period of bottle ageing. This process allows it to develop remarkable aromatic complexity and a silky texture while preserving the characteristic freshness of the great sweet wines of Tokaj.

An excellent accompaniment to foie gras, blue cheeses, fruit-based desserts, apricot tarts and delicate pastries, this wine can also be enjoyed on its own as an after-dinner treat. The recommended serving temperature is approximately 8°C. Thanks to its concentration and harmonious balance between sweetness and acidity, it offers exceptional ageing potential and can continue to evolve for decades under optimal storage conditions.
