Lamonts 2006 LATE PICKED CHENIN BLANC

Due to the public demand for a sweet wine, the winemakers chose to harvest a small parcel of Swan Valley Chenin Blanc later in the vintage thus allowing it to attain generous tropical fruit flavours.

Slowly fermented at cool temperatures to maintain these fruit characters, the ferment was arrested just off dryness to give a luscious, fullness to the palate.

Intense tropical characters of honeyed pear, passonfruit and pineapple aromas carry through on the rich palate and are well balanced by the fresh and zesty finish.

Served well chilled this wine complements fresh tropical fruit salad. A delightful sweet white table wine.
