Hell-o! We were just minding our Beeswax when it became clear we could contrive to produce a decadent single vineyard dessert wine from the air-dried grapes of the noble wine cepages, grenache blanc and roussanne. Vinferno is er, darned rich, fragrant and honeyed - nary a trace of brimstone - with non-trivial lashings of quince and Asian pear and a finish that seems to last an eternity. This wickedly great cuvee will transport you to a realm beyond your wildest imaginings.
Our one sweet wine is a bit different this outing than the last two vintages. 2006 and 2007 brought botrytis to the Beeswax Vineyard in Arroyo Seco. 2008 did not bless us with noble rot but it did give us wondrous grenache blanc and roussanne which we dried on vineyard mats for three weeks before crush and ferment at the winery. If you enjoyed our limited edition Angel Paille then you are in for a treat with this new vin de paille style dessert wine. Quite juicy and full of apple, pear and quince fruit aligned with apricots, hazelnuts and a hint of lavender honeycomb.
