A great wine to accompany cheese and pâté, dessert or spicy food with a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity and intense notes of honeyed apricot, butterscotch and marmalade, plus hints of saffron spice. We harvested the Sauvignon Blanc grapes used in this wine over a month later than our regular harvest so that they almost resembled golden raisins. We have bottle-aged this wine for you so it is ready for drinking now and will keep for many years to come due to the high sugar and alcohol content.
