Vineyard: “Passas Doces” is a dessert style wine made from our clone 1 Taylor Estate Syrah. This Syrah was picked at 35° Brix and partially sundried on the vine to concentrate color, flavor and sugar. This wine is a homage to styles made in the southwestern regions of Europe.
Fermentation: A cold three day maceration was followed by an addition of a osmotolerant yeast. The grapes were crushed at 15 brix drop and the wine cooled to 45F to slow fermentation. The wine was racked off lees three times to make sure no off-flavors arose from fortification. Grape brandy spirit was added to bring the alcohol to 21% arresting fermentation, and the wine was left in a single puncheon for three years before bottling.Passas Doces is non filtered.
Tasting Notes: The wine has notes of blueberry and wild blackberry with hints of vanilla and hazelnut. The palate is smooth and full and this wine can be cellared up to 30 years.
Passas Doces means “Dried Raisins” in Portuguese.
