Petit Manseng - 2020
Petit Manseng requires a long growing season and produces small yields of high-quality grapes that are ideally suited to produce dessert wine. The grapes are frozen to simulate the process of an “ice wine,” concentrating the sugar and fruit flavors, and then are whole cluster pressed and barrel fermented without undergoing malolactic fermentation.

Tasting Notes
The wine is an aromatic nectar that is amber and viscous, yet balanced, without the cloying sweetness found in some Dessert Wines. You’re initially treated to a bright, floral nose, resplendent with honeysuckle, that opens up to reveal notes of honey, peach purée, and a bit of caramel. This carries through into mouth with a bit of Golden Delicious apple, candied pear and caramel joining the mix.
