Production Notes

Vineyard Notes

The grape varieties used in this semi-sweet red blend are: 58.9% Zweigelt, 14.3% Marechal Foch, 13% Merlot, 7% Riesling, and 6.9% Cabernet Franc. Each of these unique varieties was fermented separately and then barrel-aged for 12 months in a mix of neutral oak barrels. Zweigelt and Riesling Late Harvest was then added just prior to bottling for a touch of balanced sweetness.
