Wine Details
Price:
$19.99 per bottle
Description:
Our 2010 Vintage Port is crafted from estate grown Chambourcin grapes that were hand harvested in October 2010. The traditional method of making a port wine is employed. The grapes were crushed in open top fermenters and inoculated with classic French yeast so fermentation can proceed until the correct balance of alcohol and sugar is obtained. Pot-stilled brandy is added to halt the fermentation process.
Aging for 2 years, in small French oak barrels, has melded the rich, lush cherry character of the ripe fruit with the warming touch of the pot-stilled brandy. It is a delicious, unique wine that will develop and age for many years; one achievement of which our winemaker is most proud. This Port bursts with a warm, jammy texture and finishes with a hint of sweetness. Enjoy after dinner with a selection of fine chocolates or robust cheeses.
