Production Details Initial limited release from a Santa Rosa vineyard planted in 1979. Grapes contained 285 g/L sugar at harvest. Fermentation was stopped at 200 g/L residual sugar by fortification with 65-degree grape spirit distilled by Zuccardi from Torrontés wine. Beginning in June 2008, the wine matured for 40 months in 23 previously used French-oak Zuccardi Q Chardonnay barrels exposed to direct sunlight, ending in November 2011. Recommended serving temperature was 9–10°C.
Tasting Notes Golden amber with copper highlights; dried fruit, honey and orange peel aromas; rich and intense, with golden raisin, anise, candied kumquat and dates in syrup.
Food Pairing Dried-fruit or honey desserts; blue, mold-rind or well-aged hard cheeses; fig desserts; dried or candied fruit; nougat and caramelized nuts.
