La Cave
La Cave Wines is the ultra-premium range produced by Wellington Wines and celebrates the early years of winemaking when wines were matured in underground chambers to protect them from extreme temperatures.
Description
Medium gold hue, with charming aromas of yellow apples, saffron, baked custard, quince and vanilla on the nose. There is a fleshy texture on the mid-palate with a rounded mouthfeel, and the oak is in perfect balance with the sleek acidity. Intense flavours of peaches and ripe citrus, while the finish has a pithy edge and lengthy notes of dried apricots. This wine is beautifully poised and has the depth, structure and fruit purity to facilitate further ageing.
Food Pairing
Rich & creamy poultry dishes / cream-based pastas / spicy Asian cuisine / lobster / prawns / veal / crispy pork belly / deserts like crème brûlée and lemon cheesecake
