Winemaking
Made with grapes that naturally dry on the vine until mid-October and beyond. The raisined grapes are crushed and pressed; the juice is slowly fermented at 59°F for several months until 14-15% alcohol content is reached. A small portion of the wine is aged for one year in barriques of French oak and then blended with the balance in stainless steel before bottling and release.
