Made from hand-picked Ortega, this Vineyard Select wine is golden in colour with
dried apricot characters on the nose. A luscious and complex dessert wine it
finishes crisp on the palate...

After several days of perfect Botrytis harbouring conditions in The Brokes and Park blocks of Denbies Vineyard, the decision was made to pick the botrytised Ortega in early October.

After a gentle de-stem and crush, the fruit macerated for 12 hours before being carefully transferred to the press. A gentle press cycle of 12 hours followed. The juice is then slowly fermented partly in oak and partly in stainless steel. Judicious use of new French oak also helps to further enrich the wine.
