Sercial, Muscat petit grain
Tasting Note
The result of this Franco-Portuguese alchemy is a fleshy, rich amber colored wine, incredibly complex, where the Muscat’s sweetness merges with the Sercial’s acidity, to tease and delight your palate. It ends with the candied characteristics of the over-ripe grapes predominant.
Drink from a port glass, slightly chilled. Not easy to forget!
Le Vin de Laurence is born of a double and demanding fermentation: first with Sercial, harvested slightly under-ripe; then with a second fermentation of Muscat in an acidic environment. The Muscat, it should be noted, is harvested much later in October—sun-roasted, with tiny berries shriveled and caramelized.
