Description
Oremus Tokaji Aszú 5 Puttonyos 2017 is a distinguished example of Tokaj’s storied winemaking heritage, celebrated for its meticulous production process and the unique qualities imparted by noble rot. This vintage exemplifies the traditional craft of Aszú wine, where 25 kg of botrytised berries are added per basket (puttonyos) to the must, left to macerate, and then gently pressed. The slow fermentation in new Hungarian oak barrels and extended aging in both barrel and bottle contribute to its remarkable depth and character.
The 2017 vintage is characterized by its intense yellow hue and a nose of floral elegance intertwined with citrus notes. On the palate, it presents a well-balanced sweetness, complemented by a zesty freshness that rounds out its rich, waxy texture. Rated 96/100 by James Suckling, this wine reveals a sophisticated bouquet of honey, tangerine, and dried pineapple, with a saline, nuanced finish. With an alcohol content of 11%, a sugar level of 178 g/l, and an acidity of 7.6 g/l, this Aszú not only provides immediate enjoyment but also promises significant aging potential, allowing enthusiasts to explore its evolving character over the years.
