Oremus Tokaji Aszú 6 Puttonyos 2014 50 cl.

The production of Aszú wine (tear wine) is a meticulous process that is only possible in good vintages and very special conditions that favor the development of "Botrytis cinerea" (noble rot). It is still based on the measures of hundreds of years ago, adding to the base must, 6 baskets (puttonyos) with 25 kg of Aszú noble berries harvested one by one and covered with Botrytis.

The grapes are macerated for 12-24 hours until they increase in size, then lightly pressed. Fermentation takes place in new Hungarian oak barrels. It is a slow process that can last up to a month.

The aging phase is completed during 2 or 3 years in 136 and 220 liter barrels, and ends with 4 or 5 more years in the bottle.

Aszú 6 Puttonyos is a luxurious wine where its fine acidity supports its extraordinary mellowness.

This wine from the 2014 vintage is very complex on the nose with notes of forest fruit honey. In the mouth, the sharp acidity balances the luxurious sweetness.
