Barrel Oak Winery · Petit Manseng 75% · Vidal Blanc 25% · 375mL
A fresh fruit, fresh take on white dessert wine. Even though this is a dessert wine, it is balanced by retaining malic acid as well as keeping it clean and fresh. This is not a heavy, syrup style white dessert wine. The goal is brightness and approachability in every glass, a dessert wine for all four seasons and any occasion.
Wines were stopped short of finishing fermentation to reserve natural grape sugar. A portion was fermented and aged in barrels (45%) and the remaining in stainless steel (55%), then aged for 8 months before blending tank and barrels together. The barrel component adds richness and texture, while the stainless steel preserves fresh fruit expression and bright acidity.
