Description
Essensia is a full-bodied sweet wine made with Orange Muscat grapes. The name “Essensia” refers to the idea that the wine contains the very essence of the grape. Its honey-gold color and sweet & spicy orange-apricot-pear flavors and aromas are achieved by harvesting the grapes at 22 brix, then crushing, chilling and allowing the juices to macerate before adding wine spirits to arrest the fermentation. Essensia is then aged for three months in French oak barrels. Pair it with chocolate, almond, apricot, peach and apple desserts, as well as cheesecake and fresh cheeses like goat cheese.
