Sichel - Sauternes 37,5 cl | Sauternes
White wine | France, LIKOREUS FRANKRIJK | 2020
A fine golden colour, it is more than promising. This 2020 offers a remarkably complex bouquet in which the fruity freshness of the sauvignon gives off floral notes of acacia flowers enveloping roasted aromas of ripe apricots and honey. On the palate, a smooth, rich and refined liquor instantly invades the palate without ever being excessive or heavy. On the contrary, a sensation of sweet freshness with an exotic taste reminiscent of the bouquet lingers for a long time. A rich and subtle wine from a great origin.

Vinification
The manual harvest takes place in various phases, depending on the ripeness of the grapes. Every time the pickers go through the vineyard, they only select the overripe grapes that contain maximum sugars. The grapes are then pressed and fermented in stainless steel barrels at a temperature of max. 22 degrees. Once the residual sugar level has reached 70 to 80gr / L, the fermentation is stopped by adding sulfite and lowering the temperature. Finally, the wine is aged for 10 to 12 months.
