De Trafford Straw Wine Stellenbosch 2009

October 7, 2012 by Simon Narracott Leave a Comment

De Trafford Straw Wine Stellenbosch 2009 Description: Pours an attractive deep yellow gold colour. Great intensity and sweetness. Dried apricot, nuts, honey and burnt treacle. The palate is intensely sweet yet not sickly, fresh and lively with rich depth along with a long clean and complex finish. This wine is best as a sweet treat on its own after a fine meal, but can also be a rewarding challenge to match with desserts!

The wine is called ‘Straw Wine’ as the grapes have been dried on straw, and so take in some of the flavour and aroma whilst increasing in sugar.

This is a naturally made, living wine which may deposit a sediment or tartrate crystals – an acceptable sign of a handcrafted wine.
