Cane Cut Late Harvest Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

Description

After achieving full flavour, sugar and textural ripeness on the vine, a portion of canes were cut, allowing each bunch of fruit to slowly dry and concentrate flavour, acid and sugar. Once the fruit was partially to completely raisined, the bunches were hand-picked, along with some late harvest bunches and then destemmed and pressed over many hours to extract the concentrated and viscous juice. A slow, cold fermentation over 28 days left the wine with low levels of alcohol and the perfect balance of sugar and acid.

APPEARANCE Golden straw with green tinged hues.

NOSE An enticing nose. Super clean and delicate. Notes of lemon curd, some honey suckle and citrus flower. Some grassy undertones in the shadows of a smack of tropical fruit.

PALATE Is light and delicate, yet creamy and rich. The acidity and sugar are balanced and the wine has a fresh feel to it on the palate. The delicate floral length carries with some tension. There is a richness with light lemon and grapefruit flavours and lifted tropical fruit that leaves a long lingering crisp zesty finish that balances the touch of sweetness. The perfect after dinner wine.
