1999 Tokaji Oremus Eszencia Branco Doce

Description

The Tokaj region, Tokaj-Hegyalja, is situated in a mountain range in north‑eastern Hungary. The town of Tolcsva and the Oremus vineyards are located at the geographic centre of this area. In 2002, UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee recognised Tokaj’s exceptional winemaking conditions, its long‑standing cultural contribution, and granted it World Heritage status. In 1993, just three years after the fall of communism, the Alvarez family turned to Hungary and founded Tokaj‑Oremus Vineyards & Wineries. The estate’s activities are based mainly in Tolcsva, where a modern winery was built in 1999 and linked to the labyrinth of cellars that have existed there since the 13th century. Thus, the Alvarez family placed great emphasis on a respectful and detailed study of this wine to establish its production process and history. (illustrative image)
