The Story

Essencia is the world’s most concentrated essence of its ripest grapes. Royal Tokaji has offered a few bottles of essencia only six times in its twenty-six-year history.

Essencia is the fermented liquid gold that very slowly oozes from bins of individually hand-picked grapes raisined by botrytis. One skilled picker may harvest 10kgs of these grapes in one day. The juice slowly accumulates in the bottom of the vat by the gentle pressure of the grapes’ own weight and pours like rich honey. It is essentially the essence of the grape, and yeast has a near hopeless task. From this rare liquid, the cellar master will select the very best to be bottled.

Written Notes

Good looking half size bottle and has by the neck level. Colour is straw and deep. On the nose it is intense, tempting, fresh and refined. The taste is focused,voluptuous, silky, fresh, rich, and sweet, low alcohol content, with silky tannins, full-bodied, with concentrated, balanced, well-structured structure and developing. On the palate it is layered and has caramel, citrus, creamy, apricot, honey, perfumed, cassis, dried-fruit, tropical fruits and violet flavours. The finish is medium long, flavorful, gentle and lingering. This wine is sophisticated, exotic and fine. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 20-30 years, decant at least 2h before tasting and this is not a good invest wine. Good value for money. I do recommend.
