[psqvp]

Para mí un vino realmente gastronómico, este 🇭🇺 Tokaji Oremus Mandolas 2018 [ @temposvegasicilia ]es tan rico en matices que ofrece una amplia posibilidad de maridajes. 🍇 100% Furmint con 6 meses en barrica, con una peculiaridad: al contrario de la gran mayoría de los vinos húngaros elaborados con este tipo de uva, este es seco. Los años le han sentado francamente bien; en nariz, destaca la fruta fresca, los postres y los ahumados. En boca, se muestra elegante, untuoso y con una magnífica acidez. En este caso lo hemos acompañado de tagliatelle al nero si sepia con sepia, gulas y gambones 🍷 . . . #tokaji #vegasicilia #tagliatelle #sepia #pasta #wine #winelover #winepassion #whitewine #winetasting #furmint #tokajiwine #cheese #gastronomia #gastro #foodphotography #instagram #instagood #instawine #enjoylife #lifestyle #lifestyleblogger #gentleman #gentlemanstyle #food #foodie #sommelier #sumiller #pairing #hungary https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp73pPJsi0G/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Decoding Spy x Family references:

Hugaria = Hungary

Obda = Óbuda

Kalpatia = Kárpátia

Tokar = Tokaj(i)

It was extremely entertaining to see this whole scene - after Berlint, Trabants and Wartburgs, now we have all these Hungarian references.

Fun facts: Hungária is also used for Hungary/Magyarország by some Hungarians (usually chanted at sports events ‘Ria-Ria-Hungária’). Óbuda is actually part of Budapest: on the Buda side, it is basically the 3rd district. And after Code Geass, we have another famous (and delicious) Hungarian wine: Tokaji from the Tokaj region.

The stew must be ‘gulyás(leves)’ or as known in other countries: goulash (which is actually not a stew but rather a soup).

A restaurant called Kárpátia does exists - it is 142 years old!

Last but not least - the closest element to reality in the picture of the city is the Chain bridge (currently under renovation and it has just made an appearance in another anime) but I think some of the building shown must refer to Vajdahunyad Castle, the Parliament and the Matthias Church.

Gyalog, kerékpárral és vízen | aktív kikapcsolódás Tokajban

„Kikapcsolódás, feltöltődés, nyaralás.” Mindannyian más és más jelentéstartalommal töltjük meg ezeket a szavakat. Egyeseknek egy kellemes vízparti sziesztázást jelent egy jó könyv és egy zamatos bor társaságában, mások pedig egy élményekkel teli túrázás és a zegzugos tájak feltérképezése közben érzik igazán, hogy élnek, ám egyvalami biztos: időnként mindannyiunknak jólesik kiszakadni a megszokott – s valljuk be, nemritkán ingerszegénnyé, álmataggá váló – mindennapi rutinjainkból. Ehhez kínál páratlan lehetőséget Tokaj, ahol a méltán híres, utánozhatatlan borokon és borkülönlegességeken túl lehengerlő szépségű tájakat barangolhatunk be.

Bringa Piknik | MÁJUS 20., 9.50 A 6. Bringa Piknik fókuszában is a jó hangulat, a vidám társaság, a sport fontossága, az egészség megőrzése és a jótékonykodás áll. 2018-ban indult az első nagyszabású túra közel ezer résztvevővel Nyíregyházáról Tokaj felé. A nyírteleki és a rakamazi piknikpontnál több százan csatlakoztak a túrához. A közel 35 km-es út végén pedig ellepték a bringások a tokaji Fesztiválkatlant. Idén is ez az útvonal, ezt már jól ismerik szinte mindenhol.

Kíváncsiaknak tokaji séta | MÁJUS 20., 10.00 Ismerkedés Tokaj nevezetességeivel, a városhoz kötődő történelmi személyekkel. A nevezetesebb épületek, szobrok mellett megállva az európai történelemben is elhelyezzük magunkat. Bővül a kirakós és rájövünk, hogy a tanulmányainkból sokszor kimaradt az emberi tényező. Pedig ez okozza az igazán nagy változásokat.

Ártér túra | Kenubázis - Tokaj | MÁJUS 20., 10.00 Ha itt a jó idő, irány Tokaj! Várnak a folyók. A Bodrogköz érintetlen ártere csatornákon bejárva csodálható meg, páratlan növény- és állatvilága ritka kincs.

Sétahajóval a Bordogon | MINDEN NAP 11.00, 13.00 és 15.00 A menetrend szerinti sétahajójárat a város mellett, a Bodrog folyón halad. Az 50 perces út során egy különleges perspektívából láthatjuk az idén 950 éves, bájos kisvárost, Tokajt.

Sweet wine and sweeter adventures \\ I first got to know of the Tokaj Wine Region through an IG post and I'm a sucker for UNESCO heritage sites (and bonus points if it's not well-known by most tourists). This region is legendary because Tokaji Aszu is made here. This variety was described by Louis XV of France as 'Vinum Regum, Rex Vinorum' - the Wine of Kings, the King of Wines. However, lesser-known places tend to come with an obstacle or two - they're usually less accessible and there isn't a lot of information online (and you would've thought I learnt my lesson in Germany and Nusa Lembongan!) But YOLO, am I right? So I booked an Airbnb in one of the villages and took a 3hr train there. Regional trains btw don't have detailed sign boards. IT REALLY IS a rural place omg. The cab service I was betting on was not available and there were no other car-hailing services). We only managed to get to our AirBnb because our host was nice enough to pick us up from the station. I was pretty much panicking and feeling bad for dragging @fifionachow here (but as usual, she was super patient and understanding). Called the winery to let them know we were stuck without any means of transportation, and we had to cancel our visit. Then, to our surprise, the nice people at Disznoko came to pick us up, and since we missed our slot, we ended up having a private tour instead. Super grateful and blessed that day! And the wine... the Aszu is SOOO GOOD! Looks like liquid gold and reminded me of honey. I'm not even a sweet wine person but I ordered it again for our dinner. Furmint was my next favourite since it's their dry wine. I didn't take a good photo of these wine during the tasting cause I wanted to really savour it (plus I was listening attentively 🙃) PS. This winery is one of the most favourable grape-growing sites for Aszu in the whole of Tokaj. • • • #throwback #disznoko #tokaj #tokaji #tokajwineregion #unescoheritage #aszu #vineyard #winery #evtravels #chuk22 #vsco #lightroom #GalaxyS21Ultra #thetravelintern #travelgram #hungary #passionpassport #evgoestoeurope (at Disznókő) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpsbiP3p7MP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

How the World’s Rarest Wine Is Made! It's a Painstaking Process to Create Royal Tokaji's Essencia.

— By Mike DeSimone and Jeff Jenssen | Robb Report | February 6, 2024

Royal Tokaji

One of the biggest heartbreaks of making wine is a lost vintage, which is usually due to weather conditions before grapes have a chance to fully mature. This has been the case in several years since 2009, the last time—until now—that Royal Tokaji was able to produce bottles of its ultra-rare Essencia. The conditions weren’t right for azsú berries in five out of the six vintages between 2009 and 2016 (the current release), but 2013 offered the biggest heartache of all.

“I think most producers in the region would agree that 2013 is one of the greatest vintages in Tokaji, ever. We had perfect conditions for azsú, and we had amazing quantity as well,” Royal Tokaji managing director Charlie Mount tells Robb Report. “We had a lot of Essencia dripping, but after five or six years in our cellar, we couldn’t find anything that we thought was worth bottling. And it was one of the most painful decisions we’ve ever had, having a huge amount of Essencia not meeting our standards and having to decide not to release the 2013.”

Although neither 2014 nor 2015 provided ideal conditions for enough quality azsú berries to produce Essencia, the summer and fall of 2016 offered perfect circumstances to capture the precious free-run juice (more on that later) that goes into making this prized elixir. And prized it should be. Only the eighth vintage of Essencia released in the winery’s 34-year history, sipping Royal Tokaji 2016 Essencia from specially designed crystal spoons that reveals its deep amber hue and aromas of dried apricot, ripe summer peach, and honeycomb. It rolls over the tongue like syrup with nimble viscosity and a sumptuous vein of acidity that keeps its inherent sweetness from overpowering its flavors of apricot nectar, peach pie, candied orange peel, and fresh honey that leaves a trail of tangerine zest in their wake.

The Grapes Falling Prey to “Noble Rot”

Meaning “dry” in Hungarian, azsú berries are grapes that have been afflicted with Botrytis cinerea, the grey mold called Noble Rot that is responsible for the creation of Tokaji Azsú as well as Sauternes and Spätlese and Beerenauslese Riesling. Unlike common household molds, Botrytis requires an optimal setting to do its work; if it is present in a season that is relentlessly wet, it will ruin the grapes it’s growing on, making them useless for winemaking. But a period of humidity, especially one with cool, foggy mornings, that precedes a dry period just before harvest creates an ideal situation. The fungus dehydrates the grapes, which increases the proportion of fruit sugars and acids, offering a sweeter, more intensely flavored berry from which to make wine. Affected grapes shrivel to the point that they look like raisins.

In regular azsú wines, botrytized grapes are collected in large baskets known as puttony and added to 136-liter barrels of base wine. The number of baskets of sweet grapes added to the base wine give the Tokaji Aszu the Puttonyos rating of either five or six Puttonyos. For a Tokaji Aszu wine to be labeled today as five Puttonyos, it must have at least 120 grams per liter of residual sugar and a wine labeled as six Puttonyos must have at least 150 grams per liter of residual sugar. Essencia’s sugars can run between 450 and 600 grams, requiring strong acidity to balance out the sugars; Royal Tokaji’s 2016 weighs in at 534.6 g/l of sugar.

Although Tokaji Azsú has been a favorite of noblemen, poets, and artists for centuries, Tokaji Essencia is in a league of its own. While Louis XIV may have proclaimed that Tokaji is “The King of wines, the wine of Kings,” Hugh Johnson OBE, the esteemed British wine writer who founded Royal Tokaji in 1990, has been known to call its Essencia “medieval Viagra.” Each 375-milliliter bottle of Essencia contains the juice of 88 pounds of dehydrated berries, which comes out to about 50,000 grapes; compare that to an average 750 ml bottle of dry wine, which is made with about two and a half pounds or approximately 200 grapes. The painstaking production process involves picking the finest botrytized grapes from the best plots and then, as Mount says, “It’s a question of waiting.” The term “low-intervention winemaking” is tossed about with abandon in the wine world, but Essencia is truly the epitome of the style.

Royal Tokaji’s Wine Director Zoltán Kovács

After harvesting, shriveled Furmint, Harslevelu, and Muscat Blanc grapes that have lost 80 percent of their water are placed on racks and left to drip. “We don’t press them or apply any pressure so a tiny amount of liquid drips through a grating at the bottom of the collecting vat. We draw it off from time to time, we keep every grape variety and every site separate, and we do an initial selection,” Mount says. The juice absorbs atmospheric liquid from the high humidity wine cellar; naturally occurring yeast from the cellar settles on the surface and a top-down spontaneous fermentation takes place. Up to 70 percent of that free-run juice is poured into appropriately sized glass demi-johns; as grapes from vineyard plots are kept separate, the containers vary in size from 10 to 50 liters. The entire process takes at least five to seven years; Mount continues, “All along we’re waiting and tasting and towards the end we’ll make a final selection of the batches to be blended and bottled as Essencia.”

Although a bottle of wine boxed with a crystal spoon can seem like a bit of a gimmick, the viscosity makes sipping from a spoon rather than a glass a much more efficient means of imbibing with minimal loss. After all, 15 percent of the initial juice has already been lost sticking to the grates, and up to 30 percent more is discarded prior to blending. Only 2,300 bottles of this treasured liquid were made (priced at $1,416 each), and each one holds roughly 25 tablespoon-sized pours; you seriously want to devour every last drop. If you can’t get your hands on a full bottle but are dying to give it a try, a select group of restaurants such as Oiji Mi and Gabriel Kreuther in New York City have bottles and crystal spoons on hand for your sweet sipping pleasure.

Soo, I went and played at the arcade for my birthday this year-

I decided I want to get Dia and Dark Gunner Dartan at my birthday, because why the heck not-

And another surprise is...

Burn suddenly decided he wants his card to be sparkly at my birthday-

I know this is probably just a coincidence, but it really does feels like Burn is celebrating my birthday in his own way-

Especially remembering how his 3* card become sparkly on early October as well-

Other than that, I managed to level up some other monsters as well, and end the day with steak and cream puff~

I actually wanted to draw everyone eating steak and cream puff as well, but my shoulders are killing me right now and I'm starting to get hella sleepy as well-

#Oreca Battle #Doodles #N41R Talks #ahehshehshakdejgvsekrgfef;;; #I'll draw Dia eating cream puff someday- #I finally get one of my meme lords- #gosh I made so many stupid sketch with Darktan- #I need to finish em now o<-< #sned help- #Also Dia absolutely kicked my ass at that last battle- #Ch 6 always kicked my ass for some reason- #I am very afraid of Tokaji now- #Dark Gunner Dartan #Darktan #Dia #Dia (Oreca) #Flame Warrior Burn
