In ideal ripening years we gamble by delaying harvest of our Vignoles grapes, hoping for late development of the noble fungus botrytis cinerea. Botrytis shrivels and desiccates the grapes on the vine, intensifying their natural sugars and flavors. After carefully controlled cold fermentation, the result is a seductively sweet white wine in the Sauternes and Beerenauslese traditions with hints of fresh citrus and exotic fruits. Our Late Harvest Vignoles wines have won 15 Gold medals in prestigious competitions since 2004, and have been featured in FOOD&WINE magazine. Savor a glass by itself, with cherry or apple pies and tarts, or with Asian dishes with a touch of sweetness. Serve chilled. A bottle serves approximately four 3-ounce glasses.

Excellent ice wine. Not as strong as many, but a very sophisticated taste.

This is not the same as the ice wine, but rather a late harvest wine. I enjoyed every sip and look forward to the second bottle, which I'm saving for a special occassion.

One of the best dessert wines I have ever tasted. Simply delicious! Sweet, but not overly so. Luscious mouthfeel. Layers of fruit... apricot, pears, peaches, apples. If you haven't tried it, you're missing out!

A wonderful price performer. While a bit simpler than the ice wine, still a rich and complex joy in the mouth. A pleasure either by itself or with a nice dessert.
