If it says Late Harvest, you know it’s a dessert wine – and this one’s pure gold. The grapes are left to hang on the vine, developing noble rot to concentrate their sugars, creating something truly luscious. A touch of oak ageing adds depth, but its the vibrant flavours: candied apricot, quince, and zesty citrus, with just a hint of almond that dominate. The texture is rich and velvety, but it never feels heavy – there’s a refreshing streak of acidity that keeps it lively. The finish? Long and clean, with lingering notes of honey and ripe stone fruit.
