Fermented from 85% Muscat of Hamburg, 15% Roditis and 5% other grape varieties. The distillation of the grape pomace takes place in a small copper pot with a fractional column, distilled 9 times at which point the heads and tails are separated and the heart is aged in French and American oak casks for at least 5 years but no more than 12 years. The barrels are a mix of new and used red wine barrels and used vinsanto barrels. After aging they are blended and diluted to 41% ABV and bottle aged for an additional 6 to 12 months before release. Intense fruity aromas such as raisins, prunes and bergamot peels, spicy aromas like vanilla, chocolate and nutmeg combined with a robust but supple body, a smooth finish and a fine aromatic aftertaste.
