Oremus Tokaji Late Harvest Furmint 2021
- ws92
The Tokaj legend has grown and grown in its four hundred years of history; but it was not until 1630, when the greatness of the Oremus vineyard was first spoken of. Today, it is the one with greatest universal acclaim.
At harvest several rounds are done, but only those bunches containing at least 50 % of botrytised berries are picked. After destemming, the berries are macerated for 4-12 hours and later pressed, giving the noble rot a leading role. Late Harvest is an interesting coupage of different grape varieties producing a well-balanced wine. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks for 15-25 days. The wine then ages in Hungarian oak barrels (220-litre "Szerednye") for two months and is refined in bottle for a 6-month ageing period.
Silky and just off-dry, with a vibrant spine of acidity well-meshed with a fragrant range of blood orange granita, lime blossom and tarragon, ground cardamom and candied ginger flavors. Fine and mouthwatering on the lasting finish. Furmint, Sárga Muskotály and Zéta.
