Kalleske 2006 Lorraine Late Harvest Semillon Aug 06

The wine has been named after Troy's mother who held the record as the fastest grape picker for four years and as the competition is no longer held, she still retains the title. The dear old thing picked grapes for over forty years! The bouquet  shows sweet pineapple, pear and lime. The palate is sweet, but not overly so with pear, lime, lychee flavours. An uncomplicated, fairly light, very smooth, easy drinking wine that is better colder than warmer. Its subtle and didn't go particularly well with either blue cheese  (which overshadowed it) or chocolate cake. As a late harvest wine at 9 percent alcohol, I wonder what it would be like if it wasn't late harvest. Rated as Acceptable.
