Oremus Late Harvest Tokaji 2022
The legend of Tokaj has grown and grown in its four-hundred-year history, but it was not until 1630 that the greatness of the Oremus vineyard was first described. Today, it is universally renowned. During the harvest, several passes are made through the vineyard, but only bunches containing at least 50% botrytised grapes are selected. After destemming, the berries are left to macerate for 4-12 hours before pressing, with the emphasis on noble rot. Late Harvest is a very balanced wine made from an interesting blend of different grape varieties. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks for 15-25 days. The wine is then aged in Hungarian oak barrels (called Szerednyei and holding 220 litres) for three months and in the bottle for a 10 month ageing period. The Oremus Late Harvest Tokaji is a harmonious, fresh and silky wine that is very versatile and provides a wide array of possibilities.
