Quails' Gate Estate Winery 2017 Late-Harvest Optima (West Kelowna) Okanagan Valley - BC

Availability: Direct from winery here
Cost: $28.99 + taxes (375ml)
Alcohol: 10.5%
Production: 791 cases
Date Tasted: November 27th, 2018

Tasting Notes: Late harvest humidity created the perfect environment for the block of Optima to be afflicted with Noble Rot (botrytis) which severely dehydrates the grapes producing a super-concentrated, fruit cocktail and citrus flavoured, fully off-dry dessert wine with good acidity and a touch of light minerals and savoury nuts on the finish. 
Drink now-2020.
