Wine Description:
Forrest Wines Botrytised Riesling is a luxurious dessert wine crafted by Forrest Wines, a prestigious winery located in Marlborough, New Zealand. This wine is made from Riesling grapes affected by noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), a beneficial mold that concentrates the sugars and flavors in the grapes. The grapes are carefully handpicked at optimal ripeness, often with individual berries showing signs of noble rot. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing of the grapes to extract the concentrated juice, followed by slow fermentation to preserve the natural sweetness and complexity.
Pros:
  • This wine offers a rich and concentrated flavor profile

Cons:
  • It is produced in smaller quantities due to the specific conditions required for the development of botrytis

Wine Expert Note:

It displays a golden amber color and offers a luscious bouquet of honeyed apricot, orange peel, and dried fruits, with hints of marmalade and floral notes. On the palate, it is rich and decadent, with flavors of ripe tropical fruits, caramelized sugar, and a balanced acidity that provides freshness and structure. The finish is long and lingering, making it a perfect companion to desserts.
