Wine Details
Price:
$19.00 per bottle
Description:
The effects of Botrytis Cinerea are well known. This 'noble rot' attacks the nearly ripe grapes late in the growing season, piercing the grape skins and allowing the moisture to escape causing the berries to shrivel and shrink, much like raisins. The juice remaining is unusually concentrated and sweet. This wine was harvested from fantastically concentrated, hand selected Sauvignon Blanc grapes at 36 degrees brix. It was fermented in French oak barrels and allowed to stop fermenting naturally with 13% residual sugar. It was aged to a mellow perfection with eighteen months in French oak barrels and is now ready to enjoy by itself or with desserts. Full of ripe honey, peach, nectarine, orange blossom, and pineapple fruit, this is truly a decadent dessert wine.
