Nose
All the classic botrytis notes of apricot marmalade, pineapple and perfumed orange blossom.
Palate
Full of apricot and orange marmalade, it keeps evolving to show more complex fruit notes, particularly pineapple and peaches. This wine is super luscious with a beautiful acid balance resulting in a long and cleansing finish. Served chilled. A perfect match with virtually any cheese, pate and toasted artisan bread.
Growing Conditions
Above average winter rainfall and mild spring conditions saw good vine growth and development in the lead up to harvest. After rain in January, conditions were ideal during the harvest, leading to wines with lovely varietal characters- vibrant and crisp, combining with the traditional botrytis flavours.
Winemaking
Fully botrytised fruit was harvested, crushed and pressed before clarification and cold fermentation. Fermentation was stopped early to preserve the natural grape sugars. Post ferment the wine was stabilised and further clarified prior to bottling.
Appearance
Golden yellow.
Food Pairing
This wine is vegetarian friendly.
