Select Late Harvest Chardonnay 2009

The grapes for this low-yield Select Late Harvest Chardonnay were hand picked from a single block of our Magdalena Vineyard. This complex, heady dessert wine fills the senses with orange blossom, honey and apricots that linger on the palate.

Typically, Chardonnay grapes are the first to be harvested in each vintage. Those grapes destined for the Select Late Harvest Chardonnay are allowed to hang on the vine for an additional 4-6 weeks. This long, slow ripening process, coupled with careful clonal selection, gives this Chardonnay rich, succulent flavors and robust sweetness.

Bunch Select Late Harvest Riesling 2007

The traditional German classification “Trockenbeerenauslese” is used to denote a particular style of dessert wine made exclusively from berries affected by botrytis.  Botrytis, or “noble rot,” reduces the water content in grapes, leaving intensely concentrated flavors and sugars. The meticulous selection of these individual berries ensures the highest purity, while the appropriate balance of alcohol and sweetness forms a graceful wine that is luscious and satisfying. A beautiful nose with honeyed citrus and lychee yields to mouth-coating flavors of clover honey and apricot.
