About The Wine
Flagship of GlenWood Fram. Grapes were picked in small batches and successive tris in the morning to capture every nuance of fruit flavours at different level. Fermented in new small French barrels with wild yeasts for 2 months. Spent total 13 months on lees to ensure the richer, rounder, softer, buttery and almond flavours.Tasting Note
Well-balanced oak and fruit integration. A rich, creamy mouth feel of almonds and vanilla with a lingering after-taste of smoky peach and citrus flavours. A food oriented wine to be enjoyed with creamy pasta, white roast, seafood or spicy dishes.
