Alpha Domus Leonarda Late Harvest Semillon 2005
Produced By Alpha Domus
Wine Description
A full flavoured, dessert style wine with a bouquet that displays ripe tangelo, grapefruit aromas and floral notes. The palate is rounded and luscious with ripe flavours reminiscent of marmalade. The honey sweet mango richness is finely balanced by fresh clean citrus.
Winemakers Notes
This wine is made from a blend of fully and partially botrytised Semillon grapes hand harvested from our winery vineyard. The partially botrytised juice was pressed, cold settled, racked then fermented in stainless steel tanks. The fully botrytised grapes were basket pressed to French oak barriques and inoculated directly. The ferments were then stopped and combined once the perfect balance of alcohol, acidity and sweetness had been achieved.
Food Match
As an aperitif with pate or great with desserts like citrus tart, pannacotta and creme brulee.
