Kahu, Maori for our native harrier hawk, inspired the name for Gerald and Juliet Hensley's neighbouring vineyard and the luscious dessert wine grown there. This Riesling block is harvested late in the season when morning dews are heavy, encouraging the spread of botrytis. The shrivelled, raisin-like fruit is typically picked in three or four separate passes over about three weeks. The crew also gather any fallen, fragile berries and bunches from the straw laid beneath the vines. Kahu 2014 is as irresistible as ever, with pronounced apricot and pear aromas; these flavours enriched by a hint of juicy mandarin. The style is rich and skilfully balanced. This golden drop is an excellent choice to go with a rich dessert or a range of after dinner cheeses. The classic combo of blue, a few nuts and a slice of fresh, creamy pear makes a memorable conclusion to dinner with friends! Serve chilled. 375 ml bottles.
