Pale gold color with delicate citrus and spicy aromas. Light and refreshing on the palate with hints of white peach and honey. It has an excellent acid balance, a smooth, silky texture and a clean, long, crisp finish.

Essencia Late Harvest uses partial bunch selection, which naturally includes ripe, overripe and botrytised berries, giving a distinctive Tokaji character with only six months maturation in barrel. This wine highlights the natural acidity and freshness of native grapes Furmint and Hárslevelű and delivers fresh stone fruit and floral character, a silky texture and a long, crisp finish.

The grapes were harvested in October and at the beginning of November. After pressing, the settled juice was fermented in tanks and then the majority of the blend was transferred to barrels for five to six months aging.

This amber-colored late-harvest wine from Tokaj has aromas of honeycomb and white flowers, especially jasmine and freesia. In the mouth, it has nice fruit sweetness and flavors of clover honey, ripe apricot and yellow peach. -J.J.
