Winemaking: We stored the carefully chosen aszú berries in vats until the end of the harvest. We moved the Eszencia that dripped from the vat into wooden barrels where we matured them for a long time, open racking them every two years. Our many years of experience has shown us that the aspect, soil (ratio of loess and nyirok) and the proportion of Hárslevelű-Furmint grapes from Gellért dűlő give our Esszencia its unique nature and flavours.

Tasting notes: “Very dark amber with a hint of gold. Complex nose of tobacco, herbs, raisins and plenty of spices. Complex and concentrated on the mouth with a marmaladey palate with spicy sweetness and good balance. Good acidity, a harmonious and gorgeous wine from a great vintage.” (Gabriella Mészáros)
