Description
In a nutshell:
A half bottle of a generously flavoured, yet delicate Alastian dessert wine.
The lowdown:
The grapes for this wine were left to hang until 1st December to achieve the concentration required for a dessert wine, hence the label being marked 'Vendanges Tardives', or 'Late Harvest'. After picking the grapes are handled with extreme care and very gently pressed to ensure they're at their best. The aromas have the classic Gewurztraminer florality with additional rich tropical fruit notes. This carries through to the palate which has a well judged crispness which retains a lightness in the mouth. The finish is long, perfumed and complex.
When to drink:
Fruit based desserts, or crepes Suzettes make a good match. Serve chilled, but not excessively so.
