Bunch Select Late Harvest Wine 2007 375ml

This Trockenbeerenauslese style dessert wine is pressed only from hand-selected grapes that are affected by the botrytis mold or noble rot. Its intense nose and taste are full of honeyed peaches and apricots. It is a supreme example of the highly revered and most sought after king of Riesling dessert wines. The traditional German classification "Trockenbeerenauslese" is used to denote a particular style of dessert wine made exclusively from berries affected by the botrytis mold. Botrytis, or "noble rot," reduces the water content in grapes, leaving intensely concentrated flavors and sugars. The meticulous selection of these individual berries ensures the highest purity, while the appropriate balance of alcohol and sweetness forms a graceful wine that is luscious and satisfying. A beautiful nose with honeyed citrus and lychee yields to mouth-coating flavors of clover honey and apricot.
