Tasting Notes
Complex aromatic nose consisting of sweet lime juice, mandarin, honey, ginger spice and white floral notes.
Luscious & rich flavours of ripe citrus, sweet fresh apricots, marmalade and fleshy ripe pear. Sugar and acid work in harmony to produce a perfectly balanced finish.
Winemaking
To enhance the botrytis characteristics in this wine we cut the canes once the flavour and balance was right and let it hang there for a few weeks to let the mould do its thing desecrating the fruit, shriveling and concentrating the flavour. Hand harvested and left to soak in the press overnight to help extract more sugar before pressing the next morning, cold settled then inoculated with a pure strain of yeast isolated from Sauternes. Ferment is stopped early to retain sugar.
Food Pairing
Enjoy with a tangy lemon tart or a beautiful blue cheese.
