GRAND TOKAJ Tokaji Eszencia 2013

Tokaji Eszencia reveals the beauty and complexity of the wine region in all its glory. 2013 was an excellent vintage with top quality, fully botrytised grapes, which were collected by hand, and the free-run juice of the aszú grapes was turned into this liquid gold nectar. This special wine comes with a stylish gift box, making it the ideal present for wine lovers and connoisseurs.

It is amber-golden yellow, with a deep aroma of vibrant botrytis notes. A smooth, oily texture carries an intense flavour of tropical fruits and honeyed notes, which are underpinned by the ever-present botrytis character. The volcanic soil's lively acidity keeps the wine in perfect harmony.

Food Pairing

Serve this unique wine with a deep, salty blue cheese, luxurious goose liver or cured mangalitza ham for a gourmet experience. You can also enjoy it straight from a spoon, or alongside a slice of cake or a chocolate muffins.
