The Essencia instantly appeals when you pour it with its gloriously thick texture in the glass. The colour is bright amber laced with 511 grams of residual sugar which is visible in the wine, like an incredible pane of stained glass. The nose is incredibly complex and expressive with scents of honey, peach, freesia, blossom and citrus peel. With each swirl of the glass more layers reveal themselves, now apricot and orange with an energetic viscosity in the mouth. The length is one of the longest finishes on a wine I believe I have tasted and it is more detailed than I could have ever imagined. Simply glorious. According to Chris Donaldson MW, at 2.2% ABV, the Essencia is ‘good for babies and good for breakfast. Laura Atkinson, Private Account Manager
Essencia is the richest and rarest of all Hungarian Tokaji wines. It is the truest expression of terroir known to man. Typically, this free run juice takes 6 to 8 years to complete its fermentation to less than 2% alcohol. Essencia can reach 85% residual sugar. Essencia wine is legendary. This Tokaji wine displays a rich, fat mouthfeel of honey, apricots and marmalade with uplifting acidity to balance out the sweetness. An ideal partner to foie gras.
