Tasting Notes
This luscious aged botrytis wine has a complex bouquet of orange peel and marmalade with overtones of hazelnuts and apricots. The palate also shows the intensity of the aroma which is enhanced by the long lingering finish. A perfect accompaniment to all desserts, cheese and fresh fruit.
Winemaking
Handpicked bunches of ‘Botrytis’ affected grapes were carefully selected having achieved optimum sugar ripeness for this style of wine. A long cool fermentation averaging 16 ° C preserved the luscious fruit flavours. After fermentation the wine was racked, filtered and bottled soon after to retain its flavour intensity.
