This exquisite wine opens with perfumed notes of apricot and Muscat, a hallmark of its unique Solera system maturation which artfully blends vintages. It offers a delightful interplay of aged richness and vibrant youthfulness, creating remarkable depth. The careful selection and blending contribute to its distinct character, which pairs beautifully with Waterford Rose Geranium chocolate. Best served chilled.

The Blend:

  • 55% Muscat de Alexandre
  • 30% Chardonnay
  • 12% Viognier
  • 3% Chenin Blanc

Winemaking Philosophy: The Heatherleigh Natural Sweet is crafted using a traditional Solera system. This continuous barrel ageing process blends various vintages within the same group of very old oak barrels (at least 10 years old), ensuring consistency and building complexity over 11 months of maturation. The sweetness is achieved naturally: grapes are left to raisin on the vine after their stems are pinched, concentrating sugars and flavors without the influence of Botrytis, which would yield a different style of richness.

Wine Analysis:

  • Alcohol: 12.5%
  • Total Acidity (TA): 7.2 g/L
  • Residual Sugar (RS): 132 g/L
  • pH: 3.5

Ageing Potential: Enjoy now or cellar for 5 to 25 years.
