Jules Taylor Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc

Origin: New Zealand
Terroir: Marlborough

Aroma & Flavour
This wine has outstanding aromas of passionfruit, lychee’s and caramelised fig with notes of honey and a touch of white floral fragrance. The palate is decadently sweet with concentrated flavours of ripe passionfruit, lychee and apricot marmalade and a hint of grapefruit pith. A soft line of acidity from its Sauvignon Blanc heritage cuts through the sweetness to balance the rich flavours to perfection. Luscious!

Vinification
We hand picked the grapes one cold morning late April 2018. The raisined berries were crushed and pressed a first time. The juice from the initial pressing was chilled and returned to the press, allowing the skins to rehydrate, and thus obtaining a little more of the precious nectar. The viscous juice was settled then fermented in a small tank, a slow affair due to the high concentration of sugars in the juice.
