2007 Late Harvest Semillon - Nectar 375ml 6-Pack

Fruit for Nectar, Clos LaChance's Late Harvest Semillon is sourced 100% from their Estate Vineyard in San Martin. Hot sunny days throughout the growing season, coupled with cool ocean breezes in the evenings, allow for increased grape hang-time and the further development of flavors and complexities. Computerized vineyard maintenance and data recording systems (weather stations, leaf and soil sensors, automated irrigation and fergitation) were also installed onsite, ensuring the highest quality fruit possible.

A beautiful yellow gold color that will darken with bottle age. Made in the Sauternes style with botrytized grapes. Rich aromas of orange peels, honey, almonds and apricots. The flavors of dried peach, apricot, honey and toasty almonds are perfectly balanced with a natural sweetness and acidity.

Specs

This wine is created with Sauternes in mind. The Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes are left out well after everything else has been picked until they become infected with Botrytis Cinerea, or “noble rot.” This rot is only welcomed when making this style of wine and requires a very specific sequence of environmental conditions to flourish in order to concentrate the sugars in the grapes. When grapes become infected with Botrytis, it begins to concentrate the fruit, however, the right conditions do not always naturally occur to provide the level of sugars needed. So, to assist this process, Clos LaChance cut the fruiting canes near the trunk, essentially halting nutrients and water absorption to the grapes. Then, they leave the grapes out on the vine for another week or two to further concentrate the sugars, some actually begin to raisin a bit. This combination of Botrytis and desiccation creates grapes that aren’t pretty to look at but with sugar values in excess of 36 degrees brix. Upon pressing, the wine ferments in stainless tanks until the right balance of sugar to alcohol is achieved. The wine is then aged in used French oak barrels for 12 months prior to bottling.
