Dessert Wines Sweet Wine White Frontignac Wine Gifts

Hobbs White Frontignac 2008

Wine Description

Picked from our own White Frontignac vines planted around 1945. All of our dessert wines are made the same way. We do not use Botrytis infected fruit or fortification in any of our dessert wines. After hand picking the grapes are placed into trays and semi dried. This drying process highlights and intensifies natural flavours and aromas. Giving a very long clean and crisp finish combined with wonderful fruit.

Wine Tasting Notes

The colour is a light gold. The nose is lifted apple blossom and honey with light floral notes. The palate is green apples, ripe watermelon and nashi pear. The flavours are long and lingering with great acidity. Aromatic and delicious.

Wine Reviews

Hobbs White Frontignac 2006

Rated 93 points

Again, spicy muscat characters come through strongly, the honeyed viscosity of the mid-palate balanced by the acidity. 8.5% alcohol Drink now through 2012.
