Notes - 100% Viognier from 35 year old vines. Harvest took place very early on the 21st August when the potential degree of alcohol was estimated at over 18.4% - this early harvest leads to a high residual sugar content. Fermentation stopped naturally at 15% alcohol with 55 g/l residual sugar. This wine is the result of extraordinary vintage conditions. "Beautiful dried peach, apricot and pear fruit flavors, with additional notes of quince, anise and minerals. Combines the sweet fruit character of a late-harvest wine with the structure and minerality of a dry wine to give a unique experience" - 93 - Wine Spectator Insider December 15th, 2004.
