Chateau Lauriga Hors d’Age Rivesaltes Ambre is a delightfully sweet and complex dessert wine, aged for 16 months prior to release.
The grapes are destemmed on arrival at the cellar of Chateau Lauriga and put directly into the pneumatic press whereby the fresh harvest is then pressed with great care. The fermentation then takes place with strict temperature control. The operation of mutage can then begin, which is the addition of alcohol to the must used to halt fermentation. This keeps the desired sweetness. A long aging in an oxidative medium (in 225 litre oak barrels) for several years has allowed the development of the aromatic characteristics of this exceptional wine.
This Rivesaltes is a blend of 65% Grenache Blanc, 30% Macabeu and 5% Muscat Blanc a Petit Grains. This produces a fortified wine similar to that of tawny port or Madeira, both in wine style and wine law. All Rivesaltes wine must be aged for a minimum period of 16 months prior to release.
This Hors d’Age (‘Very old’ in English) has plenty of characteristics associated with finely aged fortified wine: dried fruit such as raisins, prunes and apricots, toffee and caramel, cream, toasted nuts. There are also notes of sweet spice such as cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. This is a deliciously strong sweet wine from top producer Chateau Lauriga. It’s a superb example of quality French fortified wine.
Chateau Lauriga Hors d’Age Rivesaltes Ambre is a great match for foie gras, creamy and blue cheeses.
