  • It is restricted on the nose but comes into its own after airing, with woody, spicy notes enhancing candied fruit. The palate is fresh and silky, with generous melon, acacia honey, and candied citrus notes. This leads to a taut finish of brown sugar, candied orange, and a hint of minerality.

The fruit was gently pressed, and the grape juice was clarified. Fermentation occurred with natural yeast in new French oak barrels at controlled temperatures of 20 to 25°C and lasted for three weeks. The wine was aged on its fine lees in French oak barrels for 15 months, of which 20% was new oak. The wine was racked every three months and underwent light filtration before bottling.

Candied fruit aromas enhance woody, spicy notes. The palate is fresh and silky, with generous notes of melon, acacia honey, and candied citrus. This is followed by a taut finish of brown sugar, candied orange, and a hint of minerality.

Winery

The estate comprises 91 hectares of vines planted in gravelly, sandy-clay soil. The gravel captures the sun's heat, helping the grapes mature more rapidly and contributing to the wine's opulence. The thin soil retains very little water, resulting in low yields, which concentrates the sugars and flavours in the grapes and forces the vine to draw its nourishment from deep into the soil. The vines are planted at a high vine density of 7,000 per hectare, averaging 35 years of age. The vines are grown according to environmentally responsible practices, and the estate is certified as having high environmental value (HEV); cultivation practices include short pruning and tilling of the soil. 90% of the Suduiraut vineyard is planted with Semillon vines and 10% with Sauvignon Blanc. Semillon is an aromatic grape, and when it is infected with botrytis or noble rot, it has an ample structure on the palate, giving the wine great mellowness and unctuosity. When vinified as a dessert wine, the Sauvignon Blanc adds acidity, bringing freshness and aromatic complexity to the blend. The best-botrytised bunches are meticulously selected by hand and are naturally high in concentrated sugar, suitable for dessert wine.
