WINE DESCRIPTION

Grgich Hills Violetta Late Harvest is a luscious and complex dessert wine produced by the renowned Grgich Hills Estate in Napa Valley. The grapes are sourced from the estate's vineyards in the American Canyon and Carneros regions, which are known for their cool climate and unique soil composition. The wine is made from a blend of white grape varieties, including Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling, which are left on the vine to fully ripen and develop their natural sweetness. The grapes are then carefully hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve their delicate flavors and aromas. The resulting wine is rich and full-bodied, with notes of honey, apricot, and tropical fruit, balanced by a refreshing acidity. It is a perfect pairing for fruit-based desserts or blue cheese.

This Grgich Hills Violetta Late Harvest is an incredibly rich and complex dessert wine.The nose is packed with aromas of apricot, honey, and toasted nuts. On the palate, it is lush and silky, with a long, intense finish of orange marmalade, mango, and baking spices. The wine's concentration and structure balance nicely with its natural acidity, making it a great choice for pairing with sweet desserts or savory dishes.
