The Ned Noble Dessert Wine 375ml
Country/Region of Origin: New Zealand

Region: New Zealand, Marlborough

Winemaking process: Botrytised grapes have been specially selected from amongst the vines of the Waihopai River vineyard to make this wine. The fermentation process takes a lengthy 6 months and extracts huge flavours from the shrivelled berries.

Tasting notes: The taste is intensely sweet, yet balanced with a mixture of crisp citrus and fresh melon flavours, and as such, never cloys. Lingers long on the palate. Succulent decadent nose of mango and honey. Extravagantly aromatic as a sweet wine though not typically Sauvignon Blanc.

Vivid aromas of white peach, candied grapefruit and ginger result from partial botrytis infection of ripe Sauvignon Blanc fruit. The palate is plush and sweet upfront with a lingering finish of citrus and fresh beeswax.
