Soliterre

Soliterre Wine Details
Price: $16.99 per bottle

Description: The Soliterre, our version of a German Eiswein, is a sweet dessert wine. In Europe, grapes are naturally frozen while here, grapes are harvested in early September and mechanically frozen for three months. The fruit is then pressed partially frozen and the resulting juice is concentrated and viscous. The residual sugar levels are also higher than normal, allowing us to partially ferment the wine, while leaving behind some sweet flavors. The wine is then aged entirely in stainless steel tanks for five months. The result is a wonderful dessert wine with fabulous concentration and a beautiful balance of sweetness and acidity. Try it alongside your favorite berry or peach dessert!
