There's something special about great dessert wines. They are so much more versatile than people give them credit. The key to all wine is balance. It is perhaps even more important when making pudding wines because of the high levels of sugar. Thankfully Dr. John Forrest is a masterful winemaker and knows exactly how to balance and craft a really exceptional dessert wine. You can serve this pear and honey packed wine with dessert, as the dessert or with a selection of blue cheeses.
The Winemaker The Winemaker
Dr. John Forrest
Making wine is a very personal endeavour, yet one winemakers love to share. For me, winemaking combines my exuberant personality and scientist's love of experimentation with a continuous quest to capture the best the land, the vines and the vintage have to offer. The result is a collection of wines with great integrity and purity of flavour, which clearly reflect their sense of place. I am proud to share these wines with you.
"This wine has got the backbone of a great ripe Riesling, glorious gold glint, rose aromas, orange marmalade, dried Turkish apricots, toffee and hokey pokey ice cream. Sweet opulent palate. Full unctuous mouth-feel and whilst it's sweet it's perfectly balanced with crisp, fresh acidity. With the proud record we have for Botrytised Rieslings, it's a big call, but this may be our best yet!" Dr. John Forrest, Winemaker.
