Drinking Window Cellaring potential of more than 50 years

Vine Age Old vineyards
Production Details The grapes undergo three months of slow desiccation before slow fermentation, which stops naturally. The sheet reports 90 grams of retained unprocessed sugar but supplies no per-volume basis, so this is not mapped as residual_sugar_gl. The wine then ages for two years in barrels.
Tasting Notes Amber; concentrated and persistent, with dried fruit, fig, apricot and quince
Food Pairing Aperitif, foie gras, dessert, or enjoyed alone
