The grapes picked for this Port also go into our popular white Rhone blend Estate Cuvée Blanc. Freshly pressed juice from Viognier, Marsanne, and Roussanne tanks is drained then placed in a single oak barrel. Fermentation is initiated and closely monitored until it hits its designated sugar/alcohol target. At this point, Brandy, distilled from our own wine, is added to halt fermentation and incorporate itself into the flavor profile. This White Port was then aged in its original barrel for almost two years. At bottling we gently racked it by gravity into a small tank before filling each bottle, corking and waxing by hand. To preserve this wine’s distinct character, it was bottled unfined, and unfiltered.
