St. Vincent Reserve Wine Details
Price:

Description: Our 2009 St. Vincent Reserve wine is composed of 100% St. Vincent grapes from Glacial Till Vineyard. This dessert wine is made in small quantities with grapes harvested the first week of October. The crushed and de-stemmed grapes were allow to cold soak for 21 days and then pressed and fermentation started. During fermentation, additional sugar was added to continue to allow the wine to produce higher alcohol content typically found in port style wines. After fermentation was complete the wine was aged with medium toast French oak for one month. After removal from oak, the wine was allow to age in bulk for another 6 months. The finished wine is classified as a high alcohol, dessert style wine with a fruity nose, and berry finish. This wine will improve with age and should be served at room temperature.
