Winemakers Notes

Hot on the heels of our highly acclaimed 2003 Botrytised Sauvignon Blanc we have a small parcel of 2007 botrytised Sauvignon Blanc .
 A very elegant wine showing delicate semi-dried peach notes with up front gooseberry aromas. A balanced and excellent fine acidity, luscious but not cloying mouth feel. Cellaring: Drink now to 2010.

Serving Suggestions Deep fried camembert; hearty fruit flan
