Description
We are delighted to be one of the very few UK merchants to get our hands on this sensational Tokaji Aszu Essencia from Dereszla. Only produced in the very finest years, (made twice by Dereszla in the last 22 years), and now a defunct classification, this is a very rare slice of history in a bottle. Incredibly sweet yet with perfectly poised acidity, the wine has a complex apricot and seville orange marmalade fruit character mingled with spice and gingerbread notes. With an impressive 252 grams per litre of sugar it is no wonder the wine is syrupy and very rich, but the constant freshness provided by the acidity keeps the wine balanced and makes it a wonderful match to dark chocolate desserts, good quality cheeseboards and rich pates.
The wine is made from hand-picked, noble rot affected grapes from Chateau Dereszla’s finest plots and made into a paste, which is then added to a dry base wine for fermentation for 14 days. The wine is then aged in French oak for more than 2 yearss prior to bottling. The elegant label replicates a design created by Carl Faberge for Dereszla’s centenary in 1907.
