Ken Forrester T Noble Late Harvest 2006

Chenin Blanc with Botrytis. We are blessed with botrytis most years and with multiple pickings (4/5 times) manage to maintain a perfect natural acid balance with the sweetness, creating a wine of exceptional finesse and balance. This golden wine with fresh, green tones is in a lighter style, clean yet unctuously sweet. Sumptuous peach, apricot flavours, overlaid with a tropical lushness of melon and pineapple. Ripe sweetness, yet tangy, with sweet and sour zip, wood spice on the finish.

Serve with fruit tarts, wild berries and ice cream, and full flavoured cheese.
