Morandé Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc 2018
It is only in special years that Morandé are able to produce the Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc. The combination of rain that affects the harvest during the ripening and gathering of the grapes, followed by cold misty days permits the slow development of noble rot (botrytis). This, together with late harvesting, helps deliver the unique flavour of this wine that is characterised by its intense aromas, luscious sweetness and superb concentration of flavours. This is a bright, gleaming, golden yellow wine with exuberant aromas and flavours of crystallised fruit, magnolia, papaya and honey. The wine is sweet in the mouth , silky smooth and complex. Served very cold it is the perfect accompaniment for desserts, páté and Roquefort cheese.
