Hungary has a long tradition as a wine producing country. Winemaking has evolved over many centuries. Today, the most famous Hungarian wines come from Tokaj, the luscious, sweet, white Tokaji made from botrytised grapes. But red and white wine is made all over the country, for example in Eger and Villany.

Oremus was created by the Alvarez family that also owns Vega Sicilia in Spain. It is located a bit north of the town of Tokaj, in a village called Tolcsva.

NB: There are other images in the "Tokaj in Winter section"

Tokaj Aszu is always bottled in the characteristic half-litre bottle with a long neck and often with "Tokaj" emblazoned on the shoulder. For other wine types (late harvest, dry, etc) other styles of bottles are used	Some mouldy bottles	The big key to get in to the cellar		The Oremus cellar has three or four levels and several entrances.

The whole winery is shining clean in April when there is no activity there		Two wooden baskets, the famous puttonyos (containing 26 kilos of berries), and one barrel, Gonci (136 litres). The number of puttonyos with aszu berries per barrel of base wine gives the number on the bottle	The maceration tanks from below	Bottles in the bottle store
