"Introduction to the Aszú wines of Oremus, a 3 puttonyos made in the purest tradition and judged very gastronomic by James Suckling!"
"Attractive aromas of dried apricot, dried mango, ripe starfruit, walnut, melon skin and crème brûlée. Medium-bodied, fresh and crisp, with medium sweetness that's almost invisible behind the lively acidity and chalky minerality. Delicious fruit. Very gastronomic. Drink and enjoy now. (James Suckling 2023)

Manual
Winemaking
Parcel selection, gentle pressing to obtain a high-density must, fermentation in new Hungarian wood barrels (100%) for up to 4 weeks.
Production method
This meticulous process is only possible in exceptional vintages and under conditions that favor Botrytis in the berries (the same process has been used for hundreds of years). Aszù corresponding to dried berries & "puttonyos" meaning "basket", the number before it, here "3", indicating the quantity of 25kg baskets of botrytized grapes added to a 136L "Gönc" barrel of must (unfermented grape juice) - so the higher the number, the higher the sugar content of your Tokaji!
Breeding
For 2 years in 136L and 200L barrels, then matured in bottles for a further 1 year.

12%
Residual sugars

Fresh, intense attack, pleasant acidity with well-integrated sweetness, complementing an already rich aromatic complexity, we discover flavors of orange zest, vanilla and fresh almond making the whole deliciously gourmand, textured in a long, elegant finish.

Wine rated (guide 2023) 16.5/20
About the wine:
Pale straw. Rich and apricot with a satiny texture. Still the same floral note as the Late Harvest 2021, but not quite the biz Tokay! Halfway between Late Harvest and the 5 Puttonyos 2023-2030.
