Ageing
Cellar	Grapes which had become raisin as a result of being harvested when very ripe, imparted a wonderful honey flavour to the wine. The static drainers were pumped over twice on a daily basis to extract more sugar from the raisin berries. After 48 hours skin contact the juice were drained from the static separators, settled and then fortified. The dessert wine was aged for one year in stainless tanks
