Information about "Diemersdal Noble Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc 2024"
Diemersdal Noble Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc boasts a vibrant and refreshing structure, elegantly enhanced by the noble influence of Botrytis cinerea, also known as noble rot. The grapes are left on the vine longer, resulting in a golden nectar that reveals enticing aromas of ripe tropical fruits, dried stone fruits, and delicate notes of almonds. The maturation in barrels adds further complexity, with hints of honey and roasted nuts. On the palate, this wine presents a luscious sweetness that is beautifully balanced by vibrant acidity, culminating in a harmonious, silky finish with a long, lingering aftertaste.
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.
