Passionfruit Estate Late Harvest Chenin Blanc

Recently, we sent out some samples of our red wines and our 2023 late harvest botrytized Chenin Blanc to get tested for alcohol content.
We received the results. We were very interested in how our Chenin Blanc tested because for that wine, we asked and received results for the following tests:
alcohol level = 16.3%
residual sugar = 48 g/L
titratable acidity (TA) = 9.5 g/L.
Since we had a shareable amount left in the bottle, we had our friends over for dinner. I regret that I didn't take a picture of the skinless salmon dish that my husband made with a side salad of fresh greens and fruits. We also had a Matthiasson Chardonnay to pair with the salmon. For dessert, my husband made this fig in phyllo cup with goat cheese on the bottom. We topped it off with our choice of honey or balsamic glaze. The late harvest Chenin Blanc paired very well with the fig in phyllo cup. It reminded our friends of a Vinsanto that they shared with us long ago.
