Everything about wines and spirits from all over the world


Still fermenting and yet to be bottled.
2000 was considered to be a very good vintage, reflected in the incredible 914 g/l of sugar in this wine.
With this level of sugar, it could ferment for long-long years and still only hit a couple of degrees alcohol.
Not surprisingly, the bouquet is youthful, with touches of fresh apricot.
On the palate, surprise surprise, it's sweet, though amazingly, it doesn't taste as sweet as one would expect.
The structure of the wine is quite amazing - it has the viscosity of honey and tastes like honey lifted by apricot flower.
An interesting experience, a brilliant dessert wine.
Perfect match with blue cheese or goose live.
After ten years still can be cellared for up to 10-15 years...
For NZ$ 120.
