ABOUT THIS WINE
The Oremus Tokaji Aszú 5 Puttonyos 2017 is a sweet dessert wine from the Tokaj-Hegyalja region of Hungary. The Oremus estate, part of Vega Sicilia, upholds the historical winemaking traditions of Tokaj, a region celebrated for its unique botrytized wines. The 'Aszú' designation refers to grapes affected by noble rot, and the '5 Puttonyos' indicates a specific level of sweetness and concentration derived from these grapes. The 2017 vintage benefited from favorable autumn conditions conducive to the development of noble rot.
