Production Notes
This is a combination of several vintages, the 2014, 2015, 2017, and 2022. The blend is Graciano and Syrah. The later vintages were fortified with Brandy made from our own wine. We are always picking the grapes to make our Port style wine at the end of the season. Once the grapes are as ripe as they can get we hand harvest them and start the fermentation process.
Winemaker Notes
Making a fortified wine is a lot different than making other styles of wine. It has been fun getting to see how the wine age and play around with blending the different vintages together. The fruit is still showing bright in our oldest barrels. The newer vintages are ripe and rich. I love blending the different vintages together. This Lot 5 is sure to be enjoyed for years to come.
