WINE DESCRIPTION
Château Gravas Sauternes is a luscious and complex dessert wine produced in the Sauternes appellation of Bordeaux, France. The wine is made from grapes grown in the vineyards surrounding the château, which benefit from the unique microclimate of the region allowing the growth of a fungus that aids the grapes in achieving a shriveled ripeness. The winemaking process involves fermentation and aging in oak barrels to develop rich and complex flavors. The resulting wine is a beautiful golden color with aromas of honey, apricot, and candied fruit. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rich, with a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. Château Gravas Sauternes is a perfect choice for pairing with desserts or as an after-dinner drink.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Good Sauternes like this is a real treat.Not only is it lusciously sweet, but the notes of candied orange peel, vanilla, and toast add depth and complexity. Try it with strawberry shortcake topped with whipped vanilla cream. Drink now but this will improve in bottle for at least the next 20 years.
