The Tokaj legend has grown and grown in its four-hundred years of history; but it was not until 1630 that the greatness of the Oremus vineyard was first spoken of. Today it is the one which receives greatest universal acclaim.

In 1993, Vega Sicilia founded Tokaj Oremus. The personality of the Álvarez family adds to the historic tradition of both wines. Pablo Álvarez, managing director of Vega Sicilia, is also responsible for this new project. The wine is studied in great detail and with great respect, thus from the moment the vineyards were founded to present day, the Álvarez family, respecting the Tokaj traditions, has made considerable investment in Tokaj Oremus, so as to make the best wines possible.

The production of Aszú wine (teardrop wine) is a meticulous process only possible in exceptional vintages and under particular conditions which promote the development of “Botrytis cinerea” (noble rot).
