I'll probably get some stick for bangin on about this wine again, but I dig it for several reasons. One - I love dessert wines, and Two - It is unlike any dessert wine I have tried before.
After chatting with the wine maker recently he explained it is made from 100% Garganega grapes, that are rack dried for 5 months, similar to the amarone style reds, and then 2 years in oak. No botrytis, no cane cut, different....
On the nose this wine is incredible, mangoes, honey, caramel... The palate is amazingly complex, with marmalade like characters, and brilliant depth.
I cant get enough of this stuff!! 91+ Points
