The grapes for this wine are left on the vine longer than other varieties in order to achieve a “late harvest” style, shriveling the over-ripe berries to 29 to 30 brix. The Eldorado Noir grapes undergo carbonic maceration for five to seven days, which helps the wine achieve the unique and rich concentration of flavors inherent to this technique. Grapes were removed from the carbonic tank, crushed and cold fermented to retain their freshness and fruitiness. The fermented Eldorado Noir grapes are then pressed at the desired residual sugar level, and aged in neutral barrels. The resulting wine is rich, aromatic, and mouth filling with a lingering finish.
