2005 Tokaji Late Harvest, Furmint Oremus

“Oremus is responsible for some of the sleekest and most elegant modern new-wave Tokajis to come from the historic Hungarian region. This is a glorious confection of finely oaked, rich marmaladey intensity with undertones of dried apricot, honey and raisin, all beautifully balanced by the typical acidity of the Furmit grape, which is very much the hallmark of the style.”
(Anthony Rose – 50 Best Wines - The Independent – 13 Dec 08)

A festive bonne bouche. Quality in this remote corner of Hungary has improved out of recognition since Western finance arrived. Owned by Spain's Vega Sicilia, Oremus is one of many historic vineyards, where standards have shot up, and anyone sipping this exotic, apricot and apple-layered pudding wine will have a memorable Christmas.

Oremus is one of a few Tokaji estates, now in Western hands, producing great sweet wines. This luscious, apple, apricot and pineapple-laden pudding wine, made from the furmint grape, is a revelation.
