Blend: 73% Cabernet Sauvignon

Harvested in mid October

Transferred by natural gravity into French oak barrels where malolactic fermentation was spontaneously produced

John Little hand-cuts each batch and is one of the few distillers to make his own NGS (neutral grain spirit) - a costly and time-consuming step which results in a distinct flavor profile that is the hallmark of Smooth Ambler spirits

Jurançon Phoenix 2020 brand_Heron Blend: 73% Cabernet SauvignonPhoenix is the sweet wine of Clos Larrouyat. With moderate residual sugar (of around 60 g L), the racy Salharang style displays a terrific balance between moelleux styled sweetness and punchy, ripe acidity. Its discreet and fine yet luscious, with lemon barley, leatherbox honey and a twist of funky lanolin. Finishing vibrantly with waxy, honeyed perfume, this has the balance to match with savoury plates as well as lighter dessert dishes.
