McWilliam's Inheritance Fine Tawny NV
McWilliam’s Inheritance Fine Tawny NV Varietal: Mixed Colour: Bright red tawny , garnet hues. Aroma: Raisin, dried fruits, rancio and hints of vanillan oak. Palate: Soft and rounded with luscious mid-palate and a sweet lingering finish.
Vinification and Maturation: Harvested at 15 baume. Fermented on skins for 10 days to extract colour and fine tannins. Partial fortification on skins using neutral SVR, to aid in integration, further flavour enhancement and overall complexity. Wine was drained and pressed and the final fortification completed. Portions of this wine were aged in old oak to promote development of rancio characters. Whereas, others were stored in tank to preserve freshness and fruit intensity. Blending took place using components from both old-oak within a solera system and those stored in tank. A small portion of sweet white gordo was also used in the final blend to add floral lift and lusciousness. Wine was then cold stabilized, filtered and stored in tank prior to bottling. Wine Analysis: Alc/Vol: 17.50%
Peak Drinking: Should be consumed now, but can be held in bottle if carefully cellared for up to 5 years.
