Selaks Ice Wine Premium Selection East Cost New Zealand 2010 - Yellow gold in colour, with green highlights. Brilliant clarity. The bouquet is intensely floral with citrus blossom aromas, layered with rich lycee, turkish delight and honeysuckle. Selaks Premium Selection Ice is rich and luscious, with flavours of marmalade, dried apricots and honey. The palate has a slightly oily texture, with a seamless blend of concentrated fruit sweetness and crisp, clean acidity. Lingering on the palate, the finish is deliciously sweet and refreshing.
Sourced from vineyards in Canterbury (Riesling) and Gisborne (Gewurtztraminer), the grapes were picked within optimum sugar, acid and flavour parameters. The 2010 vintage throughout New Zealand was characterised by a cool summer and very settled and dry autumn, ideally suited for these aromatic varieties. This exceptional growing season resulted in fruit harvested under ideal conditions at optimum maturity.
