HENRY OF PELHAM |
Bright very light reddish pink colour. Attractive, sweet, ripe plum-strawberry puree nose with some vanilla sugar notes. Very sweet, medium bodied, rounded, fairly creamy, smooth, ripe plum-strawberry puree flavours with a lingering, fairly crisp finish. Ready-to-drink. This THIRD REPEAT has 9.5% alcohol and now 232 g/L residual sugar. TONY ASPLER / 91-points - Light tawny ruby colour; rhubarb and strawberry bouquet with a honeyed note; medium to full-bodied, sweet, honeyed strawberry flavour; beautifully balanced with enough acidity to stop the wine cloying, ending of a firm tannin note. |

TASTING NOTE: Made entirely from estate-grown Cabernet Franc, this Icewine is rich and bright with evocations of strawberry jam, raspberry, rhubarb and spice. A beautiful choice for fruit-based desserts and soft cheeses. (Vintages panel, Aug. 2018) |
