“Intimations of Immortality” Liqueur Verdelho

ONLY 180 BOTTLES RELEASED EACH YEAR!
 
UNIQUE STYLE OF WINE SYNONYMOUS WITH THE SWAN DISTRICT WINE REGION OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA. BLENDED FROM BASE WINES THAT DATE BACK OVER 60 YEARS. FROM SWAN VALLEY / SWAN DISTRICT VINEYARDS. THE AVERAGE AGE OF THIS WINE IS IN EXCESS OF 15 YEARS. 

IN THE MOST SUITABLE VINTAGES PARCELS OF FRUIT ARE LEFT TO RIPEN TO THEIR BEST POTENTIAL AND THEN DRY OUT ON THE VINE. THEY SOAK AND FERMENT ON SKINS BEFORE BEING FORTIFIED WITH NEUTRAL SPIRIT AND PRESSING OFF ARRESTING THE FERMENTATION WITH A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF RESIDUAL SUGAR. THEN THE LONG AGING PROCESS BEGINS. THE BASE WINES MATURE IN A WARM CELLAR IN OLD BARRIQUES AND HOGSHEADS. SLOWLY CONCENTRATING, SLOWLY OXIDISING, SLOWLY GAINING THE CHARACTERS THAT PRESENT IN THIS LUSCIOUS FORTIFIED WINE. 

BRIGHT, LUSCIOUS, RAISINED FRUIT CHARACTERS, DESICCATED PINEAPPLE WITH A TOUCH OF SPIRIT AT THE START. RANCIO, ORANGE MARMALADE, MOCHA AND SWEET TOASTY CHARACTERS THROUGH THE MIDDLE. LUSCIOUS UP FRONT THIS WINE FINISHES WITH SUBTLE BURNT TOAST AND STRUCTURE THAT DRIES OUT THE PALATE JUST ENOUGH.
