Prophet's Rock Vin de Paille 2019, Central Otago

Made with 100% Pinot Gris grapes dried for several weeks before pressing the elixir slowly over several hours then starting a slow indigenous ferment.

The result of this careful process is a wine with a powerful, ripe, fruity and intense bouquet. Flowers and honeysuckle, peach nectar and treacle, honeyed apricots and orchard fruits with a preserved citrus peel note ringing loudly. These all repeat as flavours on the palate. Very sweet at first, but not cloying, then contrasting acidity and other palate textures are revealed on the second sip - back palate texture, silk and a soft creamy sweetness adding length and complexity. A delicious wine perfect on its own after a meal or with sweet desserts. I can also recommend this wine with hot and spicy soups. Drink upon purchase and through 2040 - this wine will stand the test of time.
