The 2009 harvest was superb for the development of botrytis with viognier in the Gimblett Gravels vineyards. The shrivelled grapes were hand picked and gently pressed to extract the sweet concentrated juice. The small amount of nectar is fermented in a mixture of French oak barrels and stainless steel until the fermentation is stopped while there was still a significant amount of sugar remaining. It is a lusciously sweet and intensely flavoured wine which is great for decadent occasions.
