| The grapes used in Vin de Paille wines – Chardonnay, Savagnin, Poulsard and Trousseau – must be dried for at least 45 days before pressing. The must once pressed is very sweet and can sometimes take up to a year and a half to ferment. The wine can only be naturally sweet, not fortified, and must have a minimum alcohol content of 14.5% by volume. The French term for the drying process is passerillage. This wine exhibits aromas of dried fruit, nuts, beeswax and honey. It is sweet, ripe and round with excellent aroma replays. It is long finishing and would be a great partner for nuts. |
