In the glass
Aroma: candied fruit, marc spirit
Palate: candied fruit, spice, grape must
A mistelle rather than a fortified wine: the Savagnin juice is muted with marc before it can ferment, which is the whole Macvin method. The estate blends two thirds must to one third marc, ages the result in oak and bottles a year on.
