Although Tokaj Eszencia (essence) is a rarity, it shows brilliantly what the wine region is capable of. The volcanic soils, morning mists and sunshine during the day are conducive to the emergence of noble rot which shrivels the healthy berries thus contributing to unparalleled concentration of sugar, acidity and flavours. Tasting an eszencia by the spoon will help you to understand why Tokaj Aszú has such a distinguished position in the wine world. Register and join us at the opening of a bottle of precious Eszencia, which will be the last wine of our standing pop-up masterclass held at the Wines of Hungary stand, showcasing the wine region of Tokaj.
