Wine Description:
Disznókó Tokaji Aszú Eszencia is a highly sought-after sweet wine produced by Disznókó, a renowned winery located in the Tokaj region of Hungary. This wine is made from predominantly Furmint grapes supported by Harslevelu grown in the winery's vineyards, which are known for their ideal growing conditions for the fungus Botrytis cinerea, which shrivels the grapes concentrating the sugars and flavors. The winemaking process involves carefully selecting the botrytized grapes, only using the free-run juice which contains the most sugar, and fermenting them in oak barrels for several years, resulting in a rich and complex wine with notes of honey, apricot, and orange peel. This wine is a true representation of the Tokaji appellation and is a must-try for any wine enthusiast looking for unique expressions of high-quality sweet wine.
Pros:
  • An intensely sweet style that is almost syrupy in concentration

Château Pajzos Esszencia is a unique and highly prized sweet wine produced in the Tokaj region of Hungary. This wine is made by Château Pajzos, one of the renowned wineries in the Tokaj-Hegyalja region, which is famed for its sweet wines. The vineyards in this region benefit from a specific microclimate and volcanic soils that promote the growth of Botrytis cinerea, or "noble rot," which is essential for the production of exceptional sweet wines. The key characteristic of Esszencia is its incredibly high sugar content, often resulting from hand-selecting individual grapes at their ripest and most concentrated stage. The winemaking process for Esszencia is a labor-intensive one. The grape juice is extracted from the shriveled and botrytized berries and then fermented for an extended period, sometimes several years, resulting in an intensely sweet, syrupy nectar. The style of Château Pajzos Esszencia is known for its remarkable sweetness and complex flavors, often featuring notes of honey, apricot, orange zest, and botrytis-driven nuances. It is typically enjoyed in small quantities, sipped slowly and savored as a luxurious dessert wine, and is known for its exceptional aging potential.
