Growing Conditions

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.

Winter was colder than usual accompanied by abundant precipitation in the form of snow. Rain was persistent in Spring while temperatures were cool, resulting in an early budding. Excessively hot and dry in June and a rainy cooler July than usual. A long warm and dry Fall favored over-ripeness and harvest lasted close to three months.

Vineyard surface area 98 ha

Planting density 5,660 plants/ha

Altitude 200 m

Harvest

100 % manual, individual selection of the Aszú berries in several rounds. The Aszú berries are picked individually. We should not forget that each picker will collect between 5 and 10 kg of grapes a day.

Yield 12 bottles/ha

Winemaking

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.

Aging

Finally, it is bottle-aged in a journey that can last decades.
