2012 Appassito Dulcis Private Reserve
A truly unique sweet wine, for sipping on its own, and as an accompaniment to deserts and strong cheeses.
Wine Profile
The drying of grapes on straw mats prior to vinification to intensify their flavours was first noted by the Greek poet Hesiod in 800 BC. In our new state-of-the-art appassimento facility, we bring this ancient practice to our breezy hills, which are perfect for the creation of this Appassito Dulcis.
Tasting Notes
Straw yellow with with golden reflections, this nectar has an intense and complex nose redolent with tropical notes of coconut, honey, candied fruit, rosewood and vanilla seeds. It is at once velvety, full bodied and balanced, with a lingering aftertaste of ripe fruit and vanilla
