Encore is part of our reserve series and is only made in exceptional years, being dependent on specific conditions at the end of the season leading to noble rot.
This wine is made in the style of an Alsatian Selection des Grains Nobles, or a German Trockenbeerenauslësen.
This wine is so intriguing and captivating, we call it liquid gold.

Description
On release, it has a striking bright gold appearance. A plethora of lush and decadent aromas delight the nose. Ripe melon, quince, honey, and perfume are flanked by deeper impressions of crème brulée, marmalade, lemon meringue and sweet spice. The palate is unctuous and concentrated, with a multi layered and palatial mouthfeel. Complementing this perfectly is a seam of lively and refreshing acidity, adding structure and paving the way for a long, pleasurable finish.
