After 2001 and 2008 this is the third Essencia produced by young rising star winemaker István Dorogi, presenting the very loess-based fruity style of the vineyards of Tarcal on the slopes of the Tokaj Hill, called "Kopasz". Excellent botrytis scent and flavour, with dominating apricot and quince pear aromas.

„... what came next was sublime. Eszencia. One drop on my tongue excited every taste bud. It explodes and outwardly reverberates joy and juiciness throughout the body… sound familiar? I literally had to sit down. This needs no other flavor to balance it, just sip and enjoy the euphoria.“

István Dorogi's Essencia is a blend of grapes harvested from several vineyards around Tarcal, amongst them are Barát, Elöhegy, Thurzó, Mestervölgy and Mogyorós. All these small tracts are situated on the slopes of the Tokaj Hill, called "Kopasz", facing open space towards sun from east to west, so they can be shined by the sun the whole day long without interruption.
A beautiful Essencia from the outstanding Danczka vineyard. Behind the beauty of this Essencia lies a powerful golden goddess, whose soul and magic is contained within the orange blossom honey nectar.
