Lomond Noble Late Harvest 2019 375ml

Noble Late Harvest or NLH are wines made from grapes infected with noble rot. Officially known as Botrytis Cinerea, which is a fungus which attaches itself to the skins of grapes. Crucially, it doesn’t cause the skins to split; it simply leeches out the water, making the sugars and acids in the grapes super-concentrated. The grapes are carefully hand-harvested at 42 Balling and crushed. The sweetness levels of the resulting grape juice are so high that it would be impossible for a yeast to ever ferment the wine to dry. Instead, it gives up, dies, is removed from the wine and the result is small quantities of luscious, sweet dessert wine. The wine are matured in 3rd fill French oak barrels for 12 months
