Oremus - 2011 - Tokaji Eszencia - 375 ml.

A product of the Oremus terroir, Oremus nectar stands out amongst all the Aszú wines. It is an incredibly rich drink, peerless in the world. It has a low alcohol content (2 % to 3 %), given that not all the sugar concentrated in it reaches fermentation, and it is not at all unusual to find 500 grams or more residual sugar per litre. The Aszú berries are picked individually. We should not forget that each picker will collect between 5 and 10 kg of grapes a day. The berries are left to settle for 15 to 20 days and, the slight pressure exerted by the weight of the berries themselves, causes extraction of the juice they contain. The must is then transferred to 50-litre glass containers and left to ferment very slowly. After a year it is transferred to 68-litre "Átalag" barrels, where the wine continues to refine. Finally, it is bottle-aged in a journey that can last decades.
