Keith Tulloch Botrytis Semillon - A delicious intensely flavoured Australian dessert wine. Gold in colour with an intense aroma of apricot, cumquat and honey. Flavours reflect the nose with an added creme brulee texture offset by lingering acidity.
Late harvested ripe Semillon fruit with natural Botrytis (Noble Rot), the vines are cordon cut to concentrate the fruit sweetness and preserve the fresh natural acid. Matured for 8 months in new and one year old French barrels to add richness and balance.
The following comments from James Halliday, the Australian wine guru, say it all...
"I cannot remember being more impressed with an initial release of wines than those under the Keith Tulloch label. There is the same almost obsessive attention to detail, the same almost ascetic intellectual approach, the same refusal to accept anything but the best" and four years on they remain in his elite 5 star category.
