Clearview Estate Sea Red Hawkes Bay Dessert Wine NV (500ml)

Description

• Dessert style
• Plums
• Berry fruit
• Rich finish

This is the classic Clearview meal finisher. A fortified red wine style pioneered by Tim Turvey some 18 years ago. The wine has an initial sweetness and a weighty palate, oily with dense berry fruits and plums, followed by an opulently rich finish.

The grapes were hand picked very late at optimum ripeness in a late harvest style with shrivelling, but no botrytis, adding to the concentration and giving the resultant wine its rich berry and dried fruit flavours.

The name for this wine was inspired by the Split Enz track “I See Red” combined with the belief that having drunk the wine, one can walk on water! (“Think Red Sea”).

Food Pairing: Cheese, chocolate cake, Christmas cake.
