Hollick The Nectar 375ml

It is said that the gloriously sweet, concentrated wines that result from grapes infected by Noble Rot (Botrytis cinerea ) are indeed ‘The Nectar’ of the gods. The first botrytised wine made by Hollick was from the 1985 vintage and the team has developed quite a reputation for this style.

Tasting Notes:

Rich and luscious palate of concentrated apricots, and citrus fruit. Mouth-coatingly complex with a fresh and vibrant palate revealing undertones of lemon and mandarin.

Vineyard Notes:

In years of low infection, ‘cordon cutting’ is practised, to dehydrate the fruit and concentrate the flavours.

Production Notes:

The fruit was carefully selected and harvested by hand. Gentle pressing and a long cool fermentation retained the vibrant freshness of flavours, before the wine was clarified, stabilised and bottled.

Other Notes:

The 2008 ‘The Nectar’ can be enjoyed on release, but will develop complexity with 5 years or more of maturation.
