Information about "Diemersdal Noble Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc 2024"
Diemersdal Noble Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc captures the lively freshness of Sauvignon Blanc, gracefully enhanced by the noble complexity brought forth by Botrytis cinerea. With grapes left on the vine longer, this golden nectar unfolds enticing aromas of ripe tropical fruits, dried stone fruits, and subtle notes of almonds. Barrel aging adds layers of complexity with hints of honey and roasted nuts. On the palate, this wine reveals an opulent sweetness, perfectly balanced by refreshing acidity, leading to a harmonious, silky finish that lingers.
A carefully selected batch of 10 tons of Sauvignon Blanc grapes was left on the vine longer to allow for a natural infection of Botrytis cinerea, concentrating the sugar levels and enhancing the depth of flavors. The grapes were harvested at 36° Balling, gently pressed, and inoculated with yeast to initiate fermentation, which was intentionally stopped at 10% alcohol, retaining a residual sugar level of 202.4 g/l. The wine then matured for six months in stainless steel tanks to preserve its fresh fruit character. After gentle filtration and fining, the wine was bottled, showcasing an elegant balance and expressive character.
