Tasting Note

Deep gold. Lifted nose with volatile aromas of pineapple and szechuan peppercorn lead into some deeply oily, creamy aromas. The palate is intensely sweet, unctuous and voluptuous—given definition by incredible acidity and a powder-fine phenolic grip on the decadently sweet, honeyed finish of dried pineapples. A very, very young sweet wine with a long future, this is at once light and detailed while being incredibly sweet. - Stephen Wong MW, The Real Review, 96 Points

Product Notes

Prophet's Rock Vin de Paille is an exquisite New Zealand sweet wine, hailing from the picturesque Central Otago region. Renowned for its timeless old-world method, the wine is crafted from Pinot Gris grapes left to dry naturally on the vine. This results in an intense, concentrated flavour, balanced intricately with acidity. On the palate, it delivers distinctive notes of ripe peach, candied citrus peel, and honey, paired with a subtle hint of spice. Beautifully textured, elegant and complex, it is a fine partner to cheeseboards and desserts. This delectable wine speaks eloquently of the terroir's unique vigour and charm.
