When the church ceased operations, the grower was left with truckloads of ripe, unwanted Black Muscat. The grower heard through the grapevine that newcomer Quady had some success with Orange Muscat, so he knocked on Quady’s door, and the rest is history. Quady handled the Black Muscat in the same manner as Essensia: crushing, chilling and allowing the grapes to macerate. He added wine spirits to arrest the fermentation. On draining the tank the winery began to smell of roses! In his amazement he held a naming contest and selected Elysium, “state of eternal bliss” in Greek, as a name for this exciting muscat wine. Elysium is a brilliant crimson purple colour with aromas of ripe berries, rose petals, strawberries and lychees.

While the growing season presented challenges, d'Yquem’s relentless selection process yielded a wine of exceptional purity and drive, characterized by brilliant energy that cuts through its natural sweetness. This bottling displays the high quality expected from the only Premier Cru Supérieur in the 1855 Classification, offering intense clarity in its fruit and an almost crystalline expression of the Noble Rot. On the nose a bouquet of lime zest, green mango, and passion fruit, overlaid with the signature Noble Rot notes of saffron and crème brûlée. The palate is precise and impeccably balanced. The sweetness is immediately countered by a thrilling surge of fresh, powerful acidity, leading to flavours of candied ginger, citrus peel, and intense minerality. The finish is extremely long, focused, and refreshing, promising decades of development. The 2013 is already showing beautifully but has the capacity to age for 25–30+ years. If opening now, serve chilled alongside blue cheese like Roquefort, or simply enjoy it on its own as the grand finale to a meal.

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.
