The story
The Oremus project was launched with investment from the Álvarez family to revive quality production in the Tokaj region after the communist era. The winery was developed by combining modern techniques with a revival of local traditions, enhancing the historic underground cellars and the vineyards in the Tolcsva area.
Production philosophy
Uniting respect for Tokaj's winemaking tradition with contemporary winemaking technologies and a rigorous selection of grapes. The approach favors native varieties and the production of both botrytis sweet wines and dry white wines distinguished by acidity and minerality.
Terroir and vineyards
Tokaj–Hegyalja, a historic wine region in northeastern Hungary dominated by the Zemplén Mountains. The area features volcanic soils and a microclimate favourable to the development of Botrytis cinerea. The winery is located in the village of Tolcsva, in the heart of the historic Tokaj area.
Awards and recognition
Oremus wines have received broad international critical attention and high scores in specialized publications; they are frequently reviewed positively for their Aszú expressions and their single-vineyard white wines.
