Vega Sicilia Oremus Tokaji Aszu 6 Puttonyos 2014 50cl
The production of Aszú wine (teardrop wine) is a meticulous process only possible in exceptional vintages and under unique conditions which enable the development of “Botrytis cinerea” or noble rot. For hundreds of years, it has been made by adding 6 panniers (puttonyos) containing 25 kg of noble Aszú berries to a “Gönc” barrel (136 litres) of base must. Aszú berries are macerated for 12-24 hours until swollen, followed by a gentle press. Fermentation takes place in new Hungarian oak barrels; a slow process which can last up to two months. Its ageing process is completed in 136 and 200-litre barrels for two to three years and bottled for an additional 4 to 5 years. Aszú 6 Puttonyos is a luxurious wine where its fine acidity supports its extraordinary mellowness. This wine from the 2014 vintage is very complex on the nose with notes of forest fruits honey. In the mouth, the sharp acidity balances the luxurious sweetness.
