Château Suduiraut 2019 Sauternes (37.5cl, 14.1%)

Château Suduiraut 2019 is a botrytized sweet wine from Sauternes, Bordeaux, France. The 2019 vintage is composed of 94% Sémillon and 6% Sauvignon Blanc, harvested by hand across three selective pickings from 17 September to 30 October. The partially raisined grapes carried 130 grams per litre of residual sugar and were aged for 16 to 20 months in French oak barrels, 50% new. The nose shows caramelized peach, orange marmalade, acacia honey, lavender, citrus pith, dried pineapple, apricot and stem ginger. The palate is dense and luscious with white peach, quince, candied ginger, almond cream and fig, balanced by vibrant acidity. The finish is long and refined with bitter almond, toast and spice.
