| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
REIF |
| This 2023 Grand Reserve has a bright deep gold colour with a very attractive, intense, sweet, slightly spicy, tropical-tinged, caramelized apricot and Seville orange marmalade nose. Sweet, medium plus bodied, rich, tangy, Seville orange marmalade and caramelized grilled pineapple flavours with a lingering, surprisingly bright, lingering, mouthfilling finish. This delicious Icewine has 10.5% alcohol, a whopping 277 g/L residual sugar and 12.7 g/L total acidity with lot number 2024/06/13 on the lower part of the glass bottle. With proper cellaring, the Platinum Decanter World Wine Award winner should keep and improve over the next decade. |

| TASTING NOTE: 100% Vidal. An explosion of vibrant florals underscored by wave upon wave of grilled pineapple, passionfruit, dried orange and fleshy apricot riches. Full and voluptuous with a waxy, lanolin texture and tantalising acidity. Complexity wins the day. Score - 97 (Decanter World Wine Awards, 2025) |
