Clarendelle
Amberwine seeks its inspiration
in the quality, elegance and
harmony of the Domaine Clarence
Dillon family of wines.
The wine seeks not power but
rather balance. This philosophy
aims to reflect the excellence
and tradition of its heritage.
The character and subtle structure
of the Clarendelle Amberwine
comes from the "assemblage"
of two different types of maturation
of the grape.
Noble rot and late harvest grapes.
Amberwine takes its name from
its wonderful colour "Amber"
when it is aged 10 years in
the bottle.

Noble
Rot is the name given to the
Botrytis Cinerea when it brings
about a magical transformation,
within and outside the berries.
It modifies the grapes, chemically
and aromatically, and it release
an inimitable world of fragrance
of honey, dried apricots, orange
peel, grapefruit, straw with
a hint of roasted aroma. Whereas
"Late Harvest Grapes"
designation is to indicate that
the grapes were picked late
in the season without any involvement
of Botrytis Cinerea. The fragrance
is really complex, reminding
white floral aromas; lemon grass,
peach, pear and pineapple. The
Late Harvest Grapes overall
effect is refreshing, and balancing
the residual sugar. Clarendelle
Amberwine is a delicate and
subtle assemblage of Botrytis
Cinerea and Late Harvest Grapes.

The
Semillon is dominated
by a white floral and lemon
fragrance with hints of beeswax
and honey. It provides a fairly
full body and tends to be low
in acidity. The Semillon possesses
an extraordinary richness and
a succulent texture.
The Sauvignon is characterised
by its grapefruit, mineral,
lemon lime and melon-like fragrance.
It shows a great intensity of
flavour. The Sauvignon contributes
"freshness", as well
as a balanced acidity and a
dry citrus finish to the wine.
The Muscadelle produces,
with subtle variation, wines
with the distinct, intense,
aromatic, sweet, and easily-recognized
scent of peach, lime tea, and
pine apple. The Muscadelle provides
lightness, elegance and "feminity"
to the wine.
