Inniskillin does not pick at temperatures warmer than -10°C, which reduces yields and increases quality; the frozen clusters are often harvested in the cool of night. The grapes are pressed immediately while their water content is frozen in crystals, leaving only a few coveted drops of concentrated, intense liquid, which is then fermented slowly over the following months to become Icewine. Inniskillin consistently sets the bar much higher than its competitors. Although the VQA sets the minimum Brix level at harvest at 35 degrees, Inniskillin generally harvests at between 40 and 42 degrees and, instead of a minimum of 18% of residual sugar, Inniskillin’s wines have between 22 – 28%.

There is also a small proportion of Athiri, an ancient white grape variety of the Aegean Sea, used for centuries to make excellent dry white wines which imbues wines with delicate citrus flavours. A quantity of grapes are sun dried in the strong Santorini summer sun while others are dried in the shade, to maintain relative fruit freshness. After about ten days in the sun, in which time the grapes will be sufficiently dehydrated, they are exhaustively pressed for many hours until they render the last drop of their highly concentrated and aromatic must. It is estimated that the yield is no more than 80 - 100 litres of must for each acre of vineyard! Afterwards, the must is placed in aged oak barrels where, very slowly, the alcoholic fermentation process begins. This fermentation, under the influence of many sugars and the alcohol produced, will eventually come to halt on its own, which results in the creation of a naturally sweet wine. The Vinsanto by Gaia continues to age inside the same fermentation barrels, for at least 10 years, and through the passing of the seasons acquires both its deep honey colour and complex aromatic character.

This wine is a Straw Wine (or Vin de Paille), a style achieved by painstakingly drying grapes on wooden racks after harvest to concentrate the sugars and flavours before pressing. This particular 2019 vintage is a one-off bottling of great personal significance to Chris Alheit, sourced from an ancient Muscat of Alexandria vineyard (known locally as Hanepoot) in the Breedekloof region. This ancient vineyard, dating back to the 1880s, offered a unique density and concentration perfectly suited for this demanding style and this was the last vintage farmed by the De Wet Boonzaaier family who lived on and farmed Gevonden for six generations. To craft this wine, the grapes are laid out on wooden racks and on shade cloth, allowing them to dry outdoors for a full two weeks. The resulting raisins are then pressed for five days at full pressure, yielding syrup with a sugar concentration of around 54 Brix (54% mass\/volume). This juice fermented for more than a year in stainless steel, finally becoming stable at just over 7% alc with a residual sugar of around 450g\/. It sits in the glass like a smouldering ember, joyous, full of sunshine, reeking of apricots and marmalade fireworks.  It tastes completely decadent: Fiery and silky; sweet and sour.

Produced by the prestigious Oremus estate (owned by the Álvarez family of Vega Sicilia fame), the 2010 vintage stands as a testament to their dedication to this historic Hungarian tradition. Due to its incredible concentration, this wine is legally classified as an extraordinary natural product rather than a standard wine, with an alcohol content of just 2.5% and a residual sugar level of 530 grammes per litre. Eszencia is only possible thanks to the unique microclimate of the Tokaj region, which encourages noble rot (Botrytis cinerea). This fungus dehydrates the grapes, concentrating the sugars, acids, and flavours into tiny, shrivelled berries. The berries are collected individually, sometimes one by one, over several passes through the vineyard. The berries are collected into large tubs, and the Eszencia is the precious liquid that slowly seeps out under the pressure of the grapes' own weight, without any mechanical pressing. It is then aged for years in the deep, dark cellars of Oremus, developing its profound complexity. The 2010 Eszencia is liquid history. It is characterised by unbelievable depth, balanced by searing acidity that ensures freshness. Deep, luminous burnished gold in colour the nose offers a complex tapestry of mandarin peel, honey, apricot jam, saffron, passion fruit, and hints of tobacco. On the palate the texture is rich and syrupy, yet the high acidity cuts through the sweetness, providing energy and lift. The finish is virtually endless, leaving notes of dried mango, tea, and caramel. Eszencia is famous for its immense ageing potential, often lasting for decades, if not centuries.

This Aszú is one of the world's truly great sweet wines, carrying a history that stretches back hundreds of years, making it a spectacular offering for the discerning collector. The Puttonyos system measures the concentration of the Aszú (botrytised) grapes added to the base wine. While three Puttonyos represents the lighter, more elegant side of the style, Oremus’s concentration and balance ensure this is an intensely rewarding wine with incredible longevity. The nose is intense with complex aromas of dried apricot, orange marmalade, saffron, and acacia honey. On the palate the wine coats the mouth with richness, delivering flavours of citrus peel, dried fruit, and a subtle spiciness. The characteristic of this wine is its brilliant, high acidity, which perfectly counterbalances the sweetness, ensuring a finish that is clean, fresh, and profoundly long. This would be a stunning accompaniment to strong blue cheese (like Stilton), foie gras, or classic fruit tarts.

The number '6' signifies that the maximum permissible amount of Aszú berries (those infected with Botrytis cinerea, or noble rot) were painstakingly gathered and added to the base wine. This dedication to density means the wine achieves an unparalleled level of concentration, sweetness, and complexity. As the Hungarian project of Spain's legendary Vega Sicilia, Oremus applies modern precision to this historic process, ensuring perfect balance. The wine spends years maturing in small oak casks in the estate’s extensive network of underground cellars before release, developing its signature complexity. On the palate, this is unctuous and intensely flavoured, yet never cloying. Expect an explosion of crystallised orange peel, gingerbread, figs, and exotic spices. The massive concentration of residual sugar is thrillingly countered by the wine's naturally high acidity, resulting in a finish that lasts for minutes. This is a wine that defines longevity. It can be enjoyed today for its richness, or cellared for decades, where it will develop profound tertiary notes of coffee, tobacco, and mushroom.
