Cellar
Grapes that had become raisins as a result of being harvested when very ripe imparted a wonderful honey flavor to the wine. The static drainers were pumped over twice on a daily basis to extract more sugar from the raisin berries. After 48 hours of skin contact, the juice was drained from the static separators, settled, and then fortified. The dessert wine was aged for one year in stainless tanks
