2023 SWEET GRINCH LEMBERGER SELECT LATE HARVEST 12 BOTTLE PACK - RED DESSERT WINE

The 2023 Sweet Grinch Lemberger Select Late Harvest is a truly unique wine.  A one-of-a-kind gem only produced once from Pillitteri due to a spectacularly warm season.  The 2023 season was uniquely suited to allow this particular grape to hang on the vine well past the fall harvest time.  Lemberger typically ripens later in the year and a warm October allowed for more complex flavours to develop as the vines did not go dormant until early November.  Then while the grapes hung on the vines until a cold snap in January 2024 allowed the still hanging grapes to freeze and harvest to begin, ensuring the flavours in the grape skins did not break down.  

Flavours of blackberry, red currant, cherry, strawberries and other berries.  Some jammy character with cooked fruit on the mid palate.  The sweetness is not overwhelming  but is present along with some acidity.  This is an aged dessert wine so typical aged characters of toffee and caramel are also present.

This wine would pair extremely well with strong firm cheeses and dark chocolate.
