Winemaker John Harris, has been working on his latest project for 5 years. That's when the pinot grapes were harvested for this Ratafia fortified, a style created by adding grape spirit to partially fermented grape juice. It was then matured in French oak for 5 years. Here is a deep, blush-hued, sweet-scented fortified that sings. Plum, cherry, earth, rose and potpourri scent. Time in oak brings a warm, mellow quality and intensity of flavour. Finishes with lively, spicy Turkish delight and rose petal. Deliciously grapey.
