Essensia 2009:

Essensia can often make a dramatic accompaniment to dessert. It is sufficiently sweet to harmonize with the sweetness in the dessert, has excellent acidity, and stands up to assertive flavors, such as chocolate.

Elysium 2009:

Elysium is made from an unusual grape variety, the Black Muscat, on of the very few Muscats with a black skin. It is characterized by a beautiful light red translucence, a rose like aroma, and a litchi like flavor. It is sweet but also has excellent acitiy (preventing a cloying aftertaste). Elysium is a marvelous accompaniment to cheeses, fruits, and cream, and is one of the very few wines which perfectly accompanies chocolate.
