Harvey Nichols Sauternes 2015 - Sweet Wine, 13.5% ABV

The image on the front label depicts the 18th century wishing well situated at Chateau Coutet, producer of Harvey Nichols' own label Sauternes, which is one of the classified first growths of 1855 and one of the oldest estates in the Barsac appellation of Bordeaux. Local geography, climate and years of tradition combine to produce this handcrafted "golden wine". This wine is a blend of Semillon (75%), Sauvignon Blanc (23%) and Muscadelle (2%) grapes which are painstakingly harvested by hand and then fermented and aged in new French oak barrels for 18 months. This 2012 vintage expression displays aromas of acacia flowers, citrus and honey, with a refreshing and vibrant core characterised by further notes of citrus, apricot and candied fruit. Delicious served chilled as an aperitif, our own label sweet wine is also an excellent accompaniment to Asian-inspired cuisine, makes a versatile match for a varied cheese board and a perfect partner to fruit based desserts.
