Case of Waterford Heatherleigh NV
A subtle, layered dessert wine experience. It is exclusively produced from grapes that have turned into raisins on the vine. This is done by pinching the stem of the grape bunches, preventing sap flow, which naturally concentrates it. The wine has a wonderful infusion of depth, aged ripeness and vibrant youthfulness.
Cultivars: 55% Muscat de Alexandre, 30% Chardonnay, 12% Viognier, 3% Chenin Blanc
TASTING NOTE
The wine shows perfumed apricots and muscat characters following a back blending of barrels or Solera system. The wine has a wonderful infusion of depth, aged richness, and vibrant youthfulness. The wine is carefully blended and selected to
achieve low alcohol and low residual sugar content, as well as a very specific character that pairs so well with the Waterford Rose Geranium chocolate. Best served chilled.
PAIRING SUGGESTIONS
Vanilla ice cream, rock salt and a drizzle of green olive oil
