Discover Vega Sicilia’s Exceptional Craftsmanship at Oremus
Vega Sicilia, a name synonymous with excellence in Spain, has extended its unparalleled winemaking heritage to Hungary’s esteemed Tokaj region. Since acquiring the historic Oremus estate in the 1990s, Vega Sicilia has revitalized the ancient art of Tokaji wine production, bringing modern techniques to the region’s traditional methods. This legacy produces the outstanding Vega Sicilia Oremus Tokaji Late Harvest, a sweet white wine celebrated for its harmonious blend of richness and freshness.
The Unique Terroir of Tokaj
Situated in northeast Hungary, the Tokaj region is a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its unique terroir, ideal for producing legendary sweet wines. The volcanic soils and cool climate foster the growth of Botrytis cinerea (noble rot), an essential element in creating Tokaji wines. At Oremus, this translates into wines of exquisite complexity and balance.
Wine Profile: A Symphony of Flavors
Vega Sicilia Oremus Tokaji Late Harvest is a masterclass in Tokaji winemaking. Comprising primarily of Furmint, complemented by Zéta and Sárgamuskotály, the wine is crafted from late-harvested grapes with partial botrytization, resulting in concentrated sugars and flavors. Fermented at controlled temperatures, the wine retains its vibrant fruitiness and aromatic complexity.
Tasting Notes
The wine greets you with a bright golden hue and enticing greenish reflections. Its bouquet is a floral explosion with hints of citrus blossom, blood orange, and lime, layered with tarragon, cardamom, and candied ginger. On the palate, the wine is beautifully harmonious—silky and fresh, driven by vibrant acidity that balances its sweetness, leading to a lingering, tantalizing finish.
Food Pairing & Versatility
Vega Sicilia Oremus Tokaji Late Harvest’s versatility makes it a perfect companion to a variety of dishes. Whether enjoyed as an aperitif or paired with foie gras, rich blue cheeses, fruit-based desserts, or spicy Asian cuisine, this wine elevates any culinary experience. Serve it chilled between 8–10°C (46–50°F) in a small white wine or dessert wine glass to fully appreciate its delicate aromas and flavors.
Aging Potential and Collectibility
While the wine is designed for early enjoyment, it can also age beautifully for up to 8 years. Over time, it develops deeper complexity and richer honeyed notes. Its elegant packaging and broad appeal make it an excellent gift choice, appreciated by both seasoned enthusiasts and those new to Tokaji.
Conclusion: A Testament to Elegance and Tradition
