We have been growing and sourcing the Vignoles grape for
many years for its uniquely vibrant citrus and tropical fruit
aromas. The fungus botrytis, nicknamed by the French the
“noble rot”, grows somewhat on most grapes, but it loves
Vignoles. Botrytis dessicates the berries, which intensifies the
flavors. This process, crucial to the famed Sauternes dessert
wines, is likewise one of the secrets to our Après.

About 25% of the Vignoles grapes in this 2021 vintage were “happily”
botrytisized.

A delicious companion to fruit tarts, carrot cake, desserts
with chocolate and whipped cream, or drizzled over fresh
fruit, or cheesecake. Or enjoy on its own instead of dessert,
sip by sip, in a little wine glass!
