Product Description
Sauternes is a sweet wine from the Sauternais region of the Graves section in Bordeaux. It is made from grapes (80% Semillon, 10% Muscadelle, 10% Sauvignon Blanc) affected by Botrytis cinerea, also known as “noble rot.” This caused the grapes to be partially raisined resulting in concentrated flavors and sugar level while still maintaining the high level of acidity needed to balance the wine. This wine shows aromas of apricot and honey with a nice balance of sweetness. A fresh and crystalline vibrancy on the finish.
