Oremus
Tokaj Oremus was founded in 1993 as the sister property of Vega Sicilia, the iconic winery in the Spanish Ribera del Duero wine region. The 100-hectare winery has been run by András Bacsó right from the beginning. But dont be fooled, this softly spoken professional is one of the spiritus rectora of the wine region and was named Winemaker of the Winemakers in 2016. Their plots in 13 vineyards in 6 settlements are all classified as first class. Their annual production is around 150,000 bottles. Their dry Furmint, Mandolás, can be recognised almost immediately by its oak use. Their sweet wines and wine specialties are in a class of their own. The whole estate is exemplary.
