Vinification 2006 was an abundant vintage with a long warm ideal growing season. Acid levels were slightly higher than previous years so look for these wines to pair very well with a variety of cuisine.

Winemaking Harvested on December 1st, 2006 at aproximately 44 brix, these grapes were fermented in stainless steel containers at low temperatures for a period of two weeks. The wine was cold chilled to maintain as much natural sweetness as possible.
|
Aroma / Bouquet / Nose With golden straw and amber tones this wine showcases aromas of honey, ripe pear, and apricots with a slight hint of papaya.
The palate is very lush, bursting with peaches and apricots and a nice acidity.
|
Food and Wine Pairing This wine is definitely a succulent dessert on it's own but will pair well with slightly more acidic fruit desserts.
Strong cheeses could also work tantalize your palate.
