WINE DESCRIPTION
Cloudy Bay Late Harvest Riesling is a premium dessert wine produced by Cloudy Bay, a renowned winery in New Zealand's Marlborough region. The wine is made from Riesling grapes that are left on the vine to ripen until they reach a high level of sweetness. The vineyard features a unique microclimate that allows for the development of botrytis, a beneficial fungus that concentrates the flavors and sugars in the grapes. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing and slow fermentation to preserve the delicate aromas and flavors of the grapes. The resulting wine is a luscious and complex dessert wine with notes of honey, apricot, and citrus, balanced by a refreshing acidity. It is a perfect pairing for fruit-based desserts or blue cheese.
