Ken Forrester T Noble Late Harvest 2013 375ml

This golden wine with fresh, sumptuous peach, dried apricot flavours, overlaid with a tropical lushness of melon and pineapple. Ripe sweetness, yet tangy, with sweet and sour zip flavours like baked apples with clove spice, wood spice and honey on the finish.

Region: Stellenbosch

about the harvest: Chenin Blanc with Botrytis. We are blessed with botrytis most years and with multiple pickings (4/5times) manage to maintain a perfect natural acid balance with the sweetness, creating a wine of exceptional finesse and balance. This rich, unctuous Chenin Blanc was harvested as late as May.

in the cellar : We allow the juice to ferment in 400 L new French oak barrels with the natural yeast and to mature in barrel for 18 months.
