Tokaji Szamorodni 0,5 l 2015 - Tokaj Oremus

Tokaji Szamorodni from Tokaj Oremus is vinified from the Furmint and Harslevelü grape varieties and is a juicy, lively dessert wine. The word Szamorodni comes from Polish and means "born - grown". Because the grapes are harvested as they grow on the vines.

In the glass this wine has a strong golden colour with amber reflections. The elegant bouquet is dominated by a nutty aroma (especially hazelnuts and almonds) and fine spicy notes of vanilla. On the palate, this Tokaj presents a lively acidity that harmonises perfectly with the juicy sweetness. The aromas of the nose are also reflected and accompany the pleasantly long finish.

Vinification of Oremus Szamorodni Tokaji

The berries, as they have grown (szamorodni), are carefully harvested by hand from the vines. However, the Botrytis infestation (noble rot) may not amount to more than 60%. Once the grapes have arrived in the Oremus cellar, they are left in special boilers overnight and gently pressed the next day. The fermentation process for this dessert wine takes about 3 to 4 weeks. This Tokaj is then aged for 18 months in new Hungarian oak barrels.
