Sauternes is one of the most famous sub-regions of Bordeaux, it produces the largest source of fine wine in the world. It is here, on the
banks of the Garonne tributary off the Gironde, that Semillon and Sauvignon grapes hang late on the vine. Humid air infects the grapes with ‘noble rot’, concentrating sugars, acids and flavours to produce the world’s greatest dessert wines.
OĒNA ‘Sauternes’ is infused with pre-ferment, noble-rot Semillon grapes.
These grapes have been hand-picked from the finest vineyards in Bordeaux and blended with eleven carefully selected botanicals. Including orange, lemon, apricot, honeysuckle and pineapple. French oak has been used to highlight the extravagant aromas and flavours of this world-renowned wine region.
The Nose - Fresh with floral citrus.
The Palate - Rounded fruitiness, followed by dry juniper for a smooth finish.
The Finish - Light, bright and warming with notes of orange peel, lemon and dried apricot.
