Late Harvest Riesling, Trefethen Family Vineyards 2018 (37.5ml Half)

£44.99

Excited to bring this very special wine, Trefethen late harvest Riesling.

Production area

Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley, where Trefethen brought in grapes from each block as they reached ideal ripeness and have produced wines of truly exceptional quality

Varieties

100% Riesling

Description

Rich fragrances of jasmine and ripe apricot enchant the senses. Flavours of golden raisins, honey, and crème brûlée are balanced with graceful acidity. Full-bodied and opulent, the wine delivers a phenomenal mouthfeel and exceptionally long finish.

Food Pairings

This wine shines when paired with desserts of roasted peaches or apricots in the summer and poached apples or pears in the fall. Chef Chris’ favourite pairing is fire-roasted stone fruit tart with flaky puff pastry, toasted almonds, and whipped cream with just a hint of salt.

Wine & Spirits
“Clean and zesty, this wine delivers its generous flavors in layers of apricot, nectarine, litchi, gooseberries and persimmon. All that beautiful fruit comes together in a luscious texture, as rich as vanilla custard, the sweetness relieved by notes of straw and hazelnut. One panelist remarked that it doesn’t taste like riesling, while another responded, ‘I don’t care what the grape is. It’s delicious.'” – August 2020
