Harvest
The grapes for this oak-aged version are harvested late, ensuring maximum sweetness and flavor concentration.
Vinification

Similar to its counterpart, this wine is produced from grapes affected by noble rot. After hand-harvesting, the juice is fermented in oak barrels, which imparts additional complexity and depth. The fermentation process is carefully monitored to maintain the wine’s natural acidity while allowing the oak to enhance the flavors of dried fruits, vanilla, and subtle spice. This method results in a rich, full-bodied wine with a luxurious mouthfeel.

Ageing
The wine is aged in oak barrels for at least 12 months, allowing for the development of integrated flavors and a smooth, velvety finish.
