Being
sweet is a good trait. Being a well-made sweet wine is an art, and this 2014
Late Harvest beautifully expresses how good sweet can be. The sweetness is
mitigated by a mild acidity, and there are notes of resin, butterscotch, lemon,
lime kefir, and guava. At a mere 12.5% alcohol, it’s not a powerful sedative,
nor a sweet bomb. The residual sugar of just 9% - far less than most sweet
wines and Ports - makes this a great partner with a variety of food. Think
along the lines of Sauternes and you’re tracking on this. If the idea of a
sweet, late harvested wine gives you doubts, I believe this wine will remove
them. Only 198 cases were made.
