Tokaji
Tokaji is a Hungarian wine named after the town of Tokaj, some 200 km northeast of Budapest, not far from the Slovakian and Ukrainian borders. Proclaimed by Louis XIV to be "the wine of kings, the king of wines", Tokaji's vineyards covered 5,500 hectares in 2006, compared with over 7,000 hectares in the past.

The letter "i" at the end of the word tokaji means "from" the Tokaj region. This is necessary to avoid confusion with the name of an Alsatian grape variety (pinot gris, formerly known as "tokay pinot gris") which, according to legend, was brought back from Hungary by Lazarus of Schwendi. In reality, pinot gris originated in Burgundy. Alsace's pinot gris has no ampelographic or viticultural relationship with Tokaj's grape varieties.

Tokaji's white grape varieties are furmint, hárslevelü (linden leaf in Hungarian), sárgamuskotály (small-grained white muscat) and zéta (formerly known as oremus).

"This late harvest opens the domaine's sweet range: magnificent balance between sugar, fruitiness, and vibrancy: haute maitrise!"

"Amber in the glass, this late-harvest Hungarian wine presents aromas of acacia honey, beeswax, honeycomb and apricot. On the palate, it offers flavors of apricot, yellow peach, caramelized pineapple, rose petal and white peach. It is well-structured on the palate, with a final note of caramelized ginger."

"Taste a piece of history with 100% Furmint from Domaine Oremus, the very first Tokaj vineyard to produce great whites!

"It's dry and flinty, with waxed lemons, apple slices, cream and beeswax. Medium- to full-bodied, it's crisp and stable, with lively acidity running through it, yet showing ripe fruit and creaminess. Lingering finish. Drink now. (James Suckling 2023)

This extraordinary nectar, made from sugar-laden grapes, catches the eye with its brilliant golden-yellow color and syrupy texture. Its complex, exotic nose reveals intense notes of apricot, citrus and melon, complemented by dried nuts. On the palate, its rich, dense texture envelops the palate with notes of dried fruit and nuts, followed by a touch of caramel and vanilla. Sweetness is balanced by biting acidity.

96/100 Robert Parker

"Tokaji Aszu 5 Puttonyos is a blend of Furmint, Zéta and Harslevelu, macerated mainly with finished wine. It boasts an exceptional bouquet of tangerine, quince and marmalade, as well as sublime minerality and tension. The palate is very well balanced with madarine, lime, orange peel and a touch of quince. This is a crisp wine, an unpredictable but convincing Tokaji with a very long, sustained finish. A 5 Puttonyos highly recommended." (Wine Advocate 2016 - Robert Parker)
