Some interesting information about this phenomenon of Tokaj vineyards:
Tokaji selection essence (Tokaji aszú essence, sometimes popularly referred to as seven-putna) is produced by fermentation of cibeb soaked in must or Tokaj wine. The sugar content must exceed 180 g/l and the extract 45 g/l. The alcohol content is around 10-12%. It ages for 3 years, of which at least two are spent in a wooden barrel.
Tokaj selection essence goes on sale relatively rarely and at extremely high prices . Some sellers mistakenly classify it as Tokaj essence - nectar. However, it is so rare that it is practically impossible to meet it outside of specialized stores. Starting with the 2013 harvest, the Tokaj selection essence is no longer produced, and wines of this quality correspond to the highest category of selections, the so-called Aszu.
Tokaji essence (Tokaji eszencia), or nectar, is created by the natural fermentation of samotoku (juice that was pressed out of itself by its own weight). It is usually produced only in the best vintages. To create1 liter of essence, 3 tons of cibeb are needed,which corresponds to a harvest from 10 hectares. Due to the high sugar content, the fermentation is very slow and can take years (for a very concentrated singlet, it is about 1% alcohol per year). The essence usually contains over 400 g/l of residual sugar (up to 900 g/l is reported for the 2000 vintage), 45-60 g/l of extract and 4-6 percent alcohol. Aging takes at least three years, two of which are in wooden barrels.
Mr. Stevenson - one of the greatest authorities in the world of wine about the Tokaj essence writes: "I was lucky enough to taste the pure essence in the state cellars of Tolcsva. It has been fermenting for 13 years and has reached a level of almost 12% alcohol, with 640 g/l of residual sugar, it flowed like oil, but it had an incredible aroma reminiscent of a blooming rose. It was intensely sweet, clean with a strong grape flavor."
The lifespan of essences is practically unlimited, hundreds of years are reported with proper storage.
