2019 RS39 Navera Chenin-Blanc

The 2009 Swan Valley growing season gave the opportunity to obtain perfectly raisined Verdelho grapes, producing this unique varietal style. The wine displays deep amber hues and luminous clarity with an intense bouquet of raisins. The generous palate overflows with burnt toffee and treacle finishing with a slightly savoury note which perfectly balances the caramel sweetness. Alc/Vol 19.00

A classic Australian liqueur style is made from Swan Valley low-yielding old vine, dry grown Navera (a Muscat derivative), Pedro Ximenez (PX) and Frontignac (Brown Muscat). The components of this wine are aged for an average of ten years before careful selection and blending. The colour in the glass is a brilliant deep golden/amber with a slight khaki hue. The bouquet - a lift of ripe apricots, raisins and liqueured cumquats. The palate is rich, warm and luscious with a long lingering finish. To surprise and delight, try it also as a cocktail with plenty of ice and a small wedge of lime (squeeze out the juice first). Alc/Vol 19.00
