The wine had 24-hour skin contact. Fermentation was stopped three quarters through the process by means of cooling. The wine was then filtered and bottled.

Winemaker’s Comments

An elegant medium to full sweet white wine with delicate spicy and rose petal fragrances and a hint of botrytis. Turkish delight-like nose mingles with honeysuckle and jasmine. Slow flow across the palate with tropical fruit salad in the mouth. Rich and full mouth feel with luscious, yet balanced finish with enough zesty acid to make whole mouth appear smooth and rounded rather than particularly sweet. Enjoy as a dessert on its own, with a selection of cheeses or spicy curry and Thai food.
