Vega Sicilia Oremus Tokaji Aszú Eszencia is not just any wine—it’s an emblem of luxury, craftsmanship, and history. Assembled from handpicked, botrytized berries perched on the volcanic soils of Hungary’s esteemed Tokaj region, this rare sweet wine captivates collectors and connoisseurs alike with its exceptional richness, balance, and near-immortal aging potential.
A Rich Heritage of Excellence
Vega Sicilia, Spain’s iconic winery, extends its legendary craftsmanship beyond borders with the production of Oremus Tokaji Aszú Eszencia. Situated in Hungary’s renowned Tokaj-Hegyalja region, the Oremus estate honors both the historical legacy and the innovative spirit of winemaking. This elusive wine is a testament to centuries-old tradition married to modern excellence.
The Unique Terroir
Nestled amidst the picturesque hills of Tolcsva, the Oremus vineyards are celebrated for their ‘First Growth’ classification. This prestigious designation, rooted in the 1803 Szirmay classification, speaks to the exceptional quality of the estate’s volcanic tufa and stony clay soils. The microclimate, enhanced by the proximity to the River Bodrog, fosters the ideal conditions for noble rot, essential for the production of Aszú and Eszencia wines.
Meticulous Winemaking Mastery
The creation of Tokaji Aszú Eszencia is a labor of love. It begins with the painstaking selection of only the finest botrytized grapes. Macerated with must, they undergo a slow, naturally controlled fermentation that spans months, followed by aging in ancient oak barrels. This rigorous process ensures each drop of Eszencia captures the essence of its unique terroir.
Tasting Experience
Eszencia captivates with its deep amber hue, intense aroma, and syrupy viscosity. The nose is a melange of honey, dried apricots, and exotic spices, while the palate is an orchestra of candied citrus and floral richness. Despite its syrupy sweetness, vibrant acidity lends this wine elegance and balance. The finish is extraordinarily prolonged, etching itself into the memory of those fortunate enough to experience it.
Cultural and Collectible Prestige
Widely regarded as ‘The King of Wines,’ Tokaji’s historical significance is rivaled only by its collectibility. The scarcity of Oremus Tokaji Aszú Eszencia—produced only in select years in minuscule quantities—makes it a prized possession for wine collectors. Bottles age gracefully over centuries, appreciated for their ever-evolving complexity.
Pairing and Enjoyment
This exceptional wine shines alongside blue cheeses like Roquefort or Gorgonzola, and complements the richness of foie gras. Venture into innovative pairings with spicy Asian cuisine, or savor it solo as a graceful, contemplative experience.
