Brightwater Gold 2004GOLD
2004 Nelson
Noble Sauvignon Blanc
This exclusive sweet wine is made from naturally botrytised Sauvignon Blanc berries, hand selected in June 2004 and matured in french oak barrels for 18 months. Extremely rich and succulent with hedonistic nutty and manuka honey fragrances. Bursting with intense flavours of lusciously ripened nectarine, honey and treacle. Weighty and well balanced.
Brightwater Vineyards are proud to present to you this very rare and extremely limited sweet wine.
In over 35 years of winemaking in the Nelson district this is the first time a Noble Sauvignon Blanc has been produced. Vintage 2004 produced a very rare weather pattern allowing us the opportunity to make a fully Botrytised Sauvignon Blanc.
Hand selected in the vineyard by ourselves in June 2004, pressed over a period of 3 days and then fermented and matured for 18 months in old french oak barrels. Such wines are extremely difficult to make and require constant attention to every detail of the winemaking process. The result is a fabulously hedonistic golden wine which embodies all that is wonderful of a Nelson summer.
Overwhelming aromas of manuka honey and ripe nectarine make this is a wine of noble distinction. At over 220grams per litre of sweetness it is rich, luscious, superbly balanced wine and will definitely age graciously with time.
Only 990 bottles of this wine have been produced, each one individually numbered and its purchaser recorded at the winery. An item for the wine enthusiast and collector, this is a wine that will surely appreciate in value with time.
We hope that you enjoy and savor the rare quality of our 2004 Noble Sauvignon Blanc, hand crafted with finesse and passion.
