NOTES: This very
special Port wine began
with harvesting mature,
ripe grapes with high
sugar levels. The grapes
were then left to
dehydrate in the sun for
forty-eight hours. After
fermentation ended, the
wine was fortified using
premium wine spirits to
19% alcohol. The Port
was then aged for two
years in small French
and American oak
barrels. The slow aging
process helped marry the
flavors together,
producing a spectacular
wine. Prune, cedar and
plum flavors explode on
the palate, while the
aroma offers nutty,
vanilla and deep ripe
fruit. The winemaker
recommends the wine be
served with fresh fruit,
ripening cheeses such as
a Stilton, and with
chocolate desserts. |
