Director Zoltán Kovács from Royal Tokaji Winery joins us for Part Two of our journey, unraveling the nuances between Late Harvest wines, the five and six Puttonyos varieties, and the extraordinary Essencia—an ultra-rare and intensely sweet wine. Discover why Essencia, with its concentration that takes years to ferment, is hailed as one of the world's most luxurious and unique wines.
Tune in for an insightful exploration of these exquisite wines that promise to make your festivities even more memorable. Cheers to a sweet ending and a sparkling new beginning!
