The stars of our cover photo

The restaurants offer a special menu, the portions are usually smaller than they would be in the restaurant, but at least guests can try dishes that they cannot afford often. Essência Restaurant will offer the following:
– Sour cherry soup, goat cheese and duck ham
– “Essência Bifana” (pork sandwich and fennel)
– Coffee and white chocolate mousse
Our cover picture features none of these above, the dessert is “bird’s milk” (floating islands) by Essência, but for the coffee and white chocolate mousse will be as spectacular as this, for sure. The wine from our cover photos is available in Essência, and since Holdvölgy is one of the winery exhibitors, it will be available at the festival as well.

An enchanting intuition

Intuition No2 Sárgamuskotály is an off-dry wine of Holdvölgy with 11.4 g/L sugar from a unique vineyard called Nyulászó. The restaurant still has 2022, but the current vintage is 2023.

“In extraordinary vintages, we are able to harvest the Muscat à petits grains grape not just for a sweet lot, but also for a dry wine from first-growth Nyulászó. This wine is characterized by sophisticated terroir notes and perfume scents. On the nose, rose petal, strawberry, and a hint of lemongrass dominate the aromas. On the palate, white peach, pomelo, and lime take the lead.”
