WINEMAKING

Grapes for this Noble Sauvignon Blanc were harvested in May 2022 once the spread of natural botrytis was well established throughout the selected blocks, leading to concentration of the sugar, acids and flavour. Upon receival at the winery the fruit was gently pressed into a stainless steel tank and clarified. The clear juice was fermented in tank by select yeast strains specifically chosen for their ability to perform in the unique environment created by high sugar levels.

TASTING NOTE

Vivid aromas of toffee apple and lemon balm with a ginger twist resulting from partial botrytis infection of ripe Sauvignon Blanc fruit. The palate is plush and tangy with a lingering finish of citrus and fresh beeswax.

FOOD MATCHING

Perfect as a digestif accompanying a rich blue stilton or washed rind cheese. For the sweeter tooth, try with a zingy lemon curd tart or simply with a scoop of French vanilla bean ice cream.

95 | A wine of character with a good balance between the sweetness and the acidity. Attractive Seville orange flavoururs.

90 | burnt citrus rind, honeyed, green apple acids, a touch synthetic, the has notes of wax melon and a phenolic grip.

91 | Deep golden with an amber tint; slightly fusty not so fresh on nose, some greener fruit notes, palate rich and full and medium-sweet, not over the top. Unctuous, rich, lovely if not that fresh/bright.

87 | ripe pineapple, faintly grassy/lime leaf. Bright nervy acidity balances bold fruit but not especially convincing
