| 2002 | Grapes were harvested
December 2, which was the earliest harvest on record at Lailey Vineyard.
Temperature at harvest was between -9 and -11 degrees celsius. Pressing
took place immediately after harvest and fermentation was started using
selected yeast (MO5) which was selected for its slow fermenation and for
its expression of fruit character. tasting notes at bottling fresh lime, peach and intense yellow apple aromas The flavours are rich and powerful. Flavours of peach, apricot and a fresh acidity, lead to a very long finish. |
| 2003 | tasting
notes at bottling Apricot, peach, star fruit and cream toffee on the nose. Rich exotic yellow fruits ont he palate with a clean, fresh lemon finish. Good acidity balances the sweetness and leads the mouth to the glass for another sip. total production: 110 cases (200 ml bottles) |
