Winemaking

The fruit ripened on the vine to decadent sugar levels. Fermentation was arrested partially through its natural process, which gives the wine complex sweetness from its own residual sugar. Underlying floral aromas and tropical flavors typical to Viognier are present but now in more layered dessert wine tones.

- Residual Sugar: 15.8%

Aging

10 Months Neutral Oak

Food Pairing

This dessert wine is great with crème brûlée, pastries, and desserts.
