An intensive, 4-stage, harvest selection in which only noble rot berries were selected containing sugar of between 34 and 36°B. Prior to pressing the berries went through another selection process to ensure that only 100% noble rot berries were pressed. Juice was settled and racked to small 225 Litre selected French oak barrels. Juice was barrel fermented and the fermentation naturally stopped at 130 grams residual sugar per litre. The wine has spent 15 months in barrel before stabilisation and bottling.

This wine has developed into a well-integrated sweet wine with enticing nutty and honey flavours. This wine has delicate similarities to the revered French Sauternes which was one of our main objectives. Enjoy now or age for 10 to 15 years to develop further complexity. Serve chilled. Duck liver parfait, dark chocolate fondant and well-aged blue cheese.
