This sweet wine combines two of our favourite things; Riesling at its most concentrated and great acidity, which keeps it fresh, devoid of any cloying flavours.
Late harvest Riesling is made from grapes left to hang longer than usual on the vines, providing depth of flavour and richness without an unctuous, mouth filling style.
Presenting a gorgeous amber hue, the wine is brimming with notes of dense dried apricots, honey, marmalade and a smattering of lemon peel. The palate is full of concentration and is sweet and succulent, yet also shows a great deal of complexity, and is balanced by bright, zesty acidity.
It is a great wine to drink. Always great to taste a fabulous chardonnay. Hope you can bring the Domaine Collotte Chardonnay. It will sell like very well in New Zealand. Please advise when it is available.
For this sort of money you could buy a decent NZ chard....but this wine transcends you to a small village to the east of the Rhone on a balmy summers night...once you have been there you will want to go back again and again
Not tasted yet but have been buying this wine from Wine Direct for as long as they have been importing it .....fact is Grand Veneur only make the good stuff
