Tasting note:
A small section of Semillon on the Davey Estate was netted to protect the grapes as they ripened and concentrated late into the season. The botrytis affected and shrivelling bunches were hand harvested and whole bunch pressed to release their concentrated nectar for fermentation. When the desired alcohol level was reached the ferment was chilled and filtered to retain a luscious natural sweetness.
The enticing marmalade and lime conserve flavours make this “sticky” perfect to drink chilled with dessert or a cheese platter.
