Lush dessert wine, an absolute treat this winter. Stanrock’s Noble Sauvignon Blanc is one not to be missed. ‘Noble Harvest’ refers to a fungus, commonly known as Botrytis, which aids in the production of these sweet wines. Technically, the fungus allows the grapes to fully ripen, while dehydrating them of their water, leaving behind a sweet, luscious grape which is ready to be picked. 2014 was a great year and when tasting the wine today, almost 7 years later, you can see why. Honey, bitter and sweet marmalade, and candied lemon are most obvious on the nose. There’s a great balance of acidity and sweetness, and we think it would be served best with a bitter lemon tart or alongside roast peaches served with vanilla bean ice cream. Enjoy!
