Botrytis Chenin Blanc 2013
Museum Release
Original tasting notes: This light bodied dessert wine has a beautiful bouquet of lime marmalade, lemon butter and honeysuckle, with hints of botrytis. It is rich and sweet with great intensity to the flavours but still bright with a refreshing and balancing acid finish.
Museum tasting notes: A beautifully rich golden colour, this 11 year old Botrytis has dried pear and apricot characters on the nose. Well balanced with honeycomb characteristics and a touch of citrus acidity and orange rind, it’s surprisingly light on the palate given its age.

Vineyard Notes
Rainfall for 2012 was below average in the South West, with maximum temperatures well above average. Late November 2012 brought a series of strong cold fronts and strong winds. Unfortunately this coincided with flowering of most grape varieties, and as a result yields were significantly impacted throughout the region. A hot Summer accelerated ripening of white varietals, however the weather turned cold in March delaying the ripening of red varietals. This resulted in an extended vintage spanning from February to April.
