The property

Oremus is one of those estates that, by merging with the illustrious Spanish estate Vega Sicilia, have embraced and magnified its philosophy. Thus, in this prestigious Hungarian vineyard, the continuous search for excellence, harmony with nature, as well as rigor are the order of the day.

He then offered it to the wife of the Prince of Transylvania, Princess Susana Lorántffy, to thank her for her delicate attentions towards the inhabitants of Tokaj. A century later, Oremus is already established as one of the most renowned estates in the world.
