Description
Winemaking Details

A full-bodied, sweet, rich, and juicy wine with flavors of pineapple, dried apricot, and honey.

A portion of the Diamond juice we brought in for the 2022 vintage was frozen solid and then thawed and dripped off to concentrate sugar, aromatic, and flavor components leveraging the same chemical principles used to make icewines. The juice was fermented in neutral French oak barrels with Torulaspora yeast — a non-Saccharomyces species with limited alcohol tolerance — which allowed the fermentation to arrest itself with residual sugar. One barrel was inoculated with lactic acid bacteria to perform a partial malolactic fermentation.
