This bottle is Oremus by Vega Sicilia, Tokaji Aszú 3 Puttonyos, Hungary (HUN), vintage 2017. The label indicates it is a 3 puttonyos Tokaji Aszú — a medium-sweet botrytized wine made from aszú (noble rot) grapes in Tokaj.

Identify the bottle

Chill the bottle in a refrigerator or wine cooler to 8°C (46°F). If the wine is warmer, place it in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours; for quicker cooling, submerge the bottle in an ice-water bath for 15–20 minutes.

Chill to serving temperature

Carefully remove the foil and use a wine opener to remove the cork. Because Tokaji Aszú is a dessert wine often served in smaller pours, wipe the neck of the bottle with a clean cloth before pouring.

Open the bottle

Serve in small dessert-wine glasses or a standard white-wine glass. A tulip-shaped glass concentrates aromas. Pour 60–100 ml (2–3.5 fl oz) per serving.

Choose glassware

Pair with blue cheese or aged cheeses (about 100 g total for sharing) or with a fruit-based dessert such as apricot tart. The wine’s honeyed, apricot and orange marmalade notes complement stone-fruit desserts and rich cheeses.

Pair the wine

Arrange 4 fresh or rehydrated dried apricots and 6–8 slices of toasted brioche or crackers on a small plate. These provide texture contrasts and echo the wine’s apricot and honey flavors.

Serve with accoutrements

If using fresh apricots, halve and pit them and serve as-is. If using dried apricots, briefly soak in warm water for 5–10 minutes to plump, then drain and pat dry before serving.

Prepare apricots

Lightly toast brioche or thinly slice a baguette and toast until golden. Cut into 6–8 small slices for sharing.
