Harvest
Harvested at night in November.
Picked into small crates and selected inside the winery, where any grapes which do not show signs of noble rot (Botrytis Cinerea) or sun-drying are rejected.
-
Vinification and ageing
Fermented in French-oak casks, with spontaneous stopping of the process once a certain alcoholic strength is reached, thereby producing a natural sweet wine. After fermentation the wine is kept in the barrel for a further 9 months.
-
Tasting
Old gold colour. Intense nose of overripe fruit and honey, together with nuances of smokiness and vanilla from the cask. In the mouth it is very dense, with good acidity which perfectly balances the wine's high sugar content. Long, lingering aftertaste.
-
Food pairing
Excellent match for foie, desserts, sweets and as a liqueur.
Drink at 6 /8º C
