Noble Late Harvest 2014, Stanley Estates

There is so much to say here I barely know where to start! Honeyed, rich and aromatic, there is a sweet lemon-sherbert note in the glass together with a telltale note of botrytis concentration, with pineapple and mandarin hints. On the palate, Sauvignon Blanc’s firm zing helps to offset the wine’s richness, resulting in a wine with a very high-toned character. Supremely balanced, this is certainly one of, if not the very finest dessert styles in the Frontier list. A dream come true.

The variety has classic zingy freshness, citrus notes and in the case of Marlborough in particular, gooseberry aromatics and flavours. Very pure, it can often be opulent yet also the opposite, with taut mineral notes. A classic, modern varietal with huge popularity, usually unoaked, there are an increasing number of food-focused expressions with a little barrel maturation adding texture and lift."
