Glen Garvald Late Harvest Marsanne (375ml) 2020

Aromas of ginger snap, cardamon, cumquat, crème anglaise, fresh quince, pink peppercorn, and beeswax. The palate is defined, with a fine line of toast and mid-level sweetness. It travels down the palate with length, assisted by moreish tactile phenolics. It featured Seville orange, white chocolate, crème caramel and Campari flavours, with a very long finish and resonance of flavour.

Fruit was hand-picked and hand-sorted prior to crushing of whole bunches and pressing. Juice was left chilled on grape solids for 10 days prior to racking for fermentation in stainless steel via a mix of wild and inoculated yeast. At desired balanced residual sugar level, the wine was chilled and sulphured to arrest the fermentation. The single batch was matured on lees deposit in tank for 8 months with occasional lees stirring prior to bottling.
