GOLD MEDAL Air New Zealand Wine Awards 5 STARS Michael Cooper 'Classic' SILVER MEDAL International Wine Challenge 4 STARS Winestate Magazine TROPHY & GOLD MEDAL Bragato Awards Champion Dessert Wine Colour: Pale gold with green hues. Bouquet: Lifted floral, mandarin and citrus marmalade. Palate: A full, rich palate with layers of flavour citrus mandarin with hints of honey, stonefruit and apricot on the finish. Fresh pineappley acid balances the sweetness. The 2009 season started cool, then developed into a hot summer followed by a warm, dry harvest period. Noble harvest “bunches” were hand selected from 8 year old vines grown on the deep free-draining red metals of the Bridge Pa Triangle sub-region of Hawke's Bay. The vines were canepruned VSP and yielded <0.7 kg raisins per vine. The grapes were selectively hand harvested in two batches with particular attention to ensure the raisins were both concentrated and in “good” condition. Harvest brix ranged from 38 – 40 Bx. The grapes were pressed immediately. The juice was cold settled and inoculated with selected yeast for moderately cool (15 to 18C) fermentation in tank. FOOD MATCH: Try fresh fruit desserts, lemon tart or blue cheese.
