Brampton QF2 2000

The South African Trophy Wine Show 2002 - Trophy for Best Dessert Wine on Show - Non-Fortified
The Botrytis developed slowly and difficultly in 2000, eventually reaching about 35% infection before it was harvested. The long fermentation of clean juice has led to an exquisite wine that is extremely well integrated with the spiciness and toast of the wood. The wine reveals itself in layers of white peach, apricots and honeysuckle.
