Patience Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc 2023 375ml
"The two most powerful warriors are patience and time." - Leo Tolstoy
Our Late Harvest, made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, is a luxurious treat, perfect for sipping on its own or paired with decadent desserts like creme brulee, panna cotta, or fruit tarts. It's also a wonderful accompaniment to blue cheese or foie gras.
Harvesting this wine occurs in the middle of Winter, on a frosty morning. As Autumn progresses, the once-juicy and green Sauvignon Blanc berries start to become golden and rapidly lose their water. Concentration occurs as botrytis sets in and we see the sugar levels rise. The 'almost-raisin' berries are gently hand-harvested by the whole team to celebrate the long wait for this precious wine. "Patience" is the definition of 'liquid gold'.
Lashings of honeyed citrus, dried apricot and peach follow through to a full-bodied but exceptionally balanced palate lush with caramelised apple and apricot. There’s a fleshiness and delicate spice on the finish.
