Special Wine Release: Late Harvest Petite Sirah 2017
We are honored to release our 2017 vintage of Late Harvest Petite Sirah! BUY
The term ‘late harvest’ is used to identify wines made from grapes that have begun to shrivel on the vines, thus resulting in a higher sugar content (Brix) and more concentrated aromas and flavors. Often, but not always, it also means a higher residual sugar at bottling. Petite Sirah is an excellent candidate for this style due to its fruitiness, color, and small, loosely clustered berries that mature well and hold up to the extended time spent on the vine in potentially challenging weather conditions.
