Noble Late Harvest Riesling

Great with desserts, but also great as a dessert on its own. It partners well with cheese and is excellent with foie gras.

Grapes are left on the vines to ripen and botrytis is allowed to flourish. Bunch sorting takes place in the vineyard to eliminate any traces of sour rot. Harvest took place the 20th March and the 13th of April. Grapes came in at 35° Brix.

The wine is matured in bottle before release.

A second stage of sorting occurs at the cellar to ensure that no sour rot is processed with the Botrytis infected grapes. Following skin contact, berries are pressed and juice settled at5° Celsius for two days. Fermentation is controlled at 14°-16 ° Celsius over a period of eight weeks.
