Grape

Viognier, Chenin Blanc, Crouchen Blanc

Origin
This wine is so named because it is made in the 'passito' method, where the harvested grapes are laid out on straw mats and allowed to dry for around 4 weeks, concentrating the sugars. They are then pressed for 4-5 hours and racked to barrel for fermentation.
Taste
Concentrated aromas of honey, marmalade and ripe peach. Intensely sweet yet vibrantly fruity and involvingly complex. A voluptuously textured palate with plenty of length.
Enjoy
Partner with tarte tatin or a fruity sponge pudding.

Staff Reviews

  • Nectar......

    "Just opened this wine instore, as usual staff are the first to try and have an opinion! The intensity of flavours in this wine is amazing! Dried apricot, marmalade, honey, mango and something a little spicy we just couldn't put our fingers on filled the mouth. The acidity ensures the wine is not cloying and it leaves a wonderfully rich, clean finish. This would be the ultimate way to round off a meal!"

  • A Real Eye Opener

    "We opened the Straw Wine on our last Wine Course for something a bit different. This unusual wine demanded an unusual food match - so we chose Almond Slices. The wine itself is a beautiful amber colour, which is honeyed and luscious, with flavours of peach, apricot, marmalade and a subtle spicy perfume. The almond slices were rich yet light, filled with raspberry and plum jam, with flaked toasted almonds on top. Together the flavours enhanced and complemented one another, lifting and enriching the almond notes to marzipan or amaretto level! An absolute delight and a real eye opener. Fantastic value on the South African offer as well!"
