Winemaker's Notes:
Fragrances suggest plum pudding, nutmeg, clove, eucalyptus and cedar.
The mouthfeel is firm and silky, and flavours are a delightful collage of dark fruitcake and black cherry and toasty vanilla, leaving a luxuriously long aftertaste.
Picked at the Stouck Family Vineyard on November 7th as grape sugars averaged 23.5° Brix. After stainless steel fermentation, two-thirds of the wine was transferred to older American oak barrels. The other one-third, after 10 months in new oak, was drained to an older barrel to finish ageing.
In April 2017, after a total of 17 months in barrel, 69 cases went to bottle.
At the time of bottling, alcohol was measured at 13.5%, residual sugar at 2.5 gram per litre, titratable acidity at 6.8 grams per litre and pH at 3.49.
Enjoy now to 2025.
Dry: 2.5 g residual sugar
