At the end of each picking day, the one by one collected aszú grapes were collected in small stainless steel vats and stored until the end of October. This Eszencia is the free-run juice deriving from the weight of the aszú berries. Besides the superconcentration of the aszú berries, we had proportionally more Eszencia than usual, due to the light, botrytised character of the aszú berries. These incredibly rich nectars were then poured into demijohns of 50 litres.
- Winery: Disznókő Tokaj
- Vintage: 2007
- Grape Variety: Furmint
- Ageing: The individual lots of Eszencia were kept in the demijohns without any added yeasts or sulphur in our cool underground cellar. Only a micro-fermentation occurred on the top of the nectar (resulting in 1 % alcohol) and the maturation refined its originally very intense, fruity aromas. The ageing lasted until January 2011, when we blended the various lots in a vat. We only selected the best lots from Furmint grapes for the 2007 Eszencia.
