“There’s no greater concentration in nature than this. What humans have invented is simply to gather the berries together,” says István Szepsy Jr.
Esszencia, the rarest boyritised wine of Tokaj-Hegyalja, represents a truly unique style. The honey-like nectar that slowly oozes out of carefully selected aszú berries pressed under their own weight is collected, then aged for nine months in Hungarian oak barrels. It is made only in exceptional vintages, entirely from Furmint.
In this vintage, only 120 litres were made, totalling 246 bottles. The wine is pure golden in colour, with subtle aromas of orange and peach. Its creamy, dense texture is highly concentrated, and although extremely sweet, it is perfectly balanced. With 497.2 g/l of residual sugar and 10.4 g/l of acidity.

„I’ve been saying for 20 years that we’d stop adding new areas. However, we just can’t stop ourselves! Now it’s the andesite soil of Tállya and its five first-class vineyards that excite me. Once it accounted for most of the grapes in the wine region. My wife’s hairdresser has even asked me why I go there so often. We discover 800-year-old vineyard names and each parcel hides a surprise. The 2011 wines seem suspiciously good: that’s when it’s the most nerve wrecking for the winemaker. Again it showed that there is no recipe in winemaking; the practice of walking the vineyards and experimenting cannot be replaced by anything. Every day we try to make our wines believing that the wine region will once again be at the place where it should be.”
