Refreshingly sweet. Dessert wine 「Late Harvest Wine」

"Late Harvest Wine" is a luxurious dessert wine blessed by the Canadian nature. As the name suggests, Late Harvest is a sweet wine made from grapes harvested later than the usual harvest season. It was made in a vineyard enveloped in autumn winds, where jewel-like grapes were harvested at sub-zero temperatures. The sweetness that drips from the fruit is truly magical. The honey-like sweetness and fruity flavor of the grapes fill your mouth. Recommended for those who are new to dessert wines and those who like sweet wines.

The sugar content increases, resulting in a rich sweetness.

While regular grapes are harvested from August to October, late harvest wines are harvested from October to December. One of the characteristics of late harvest wines is that the grapes are frozen by frost. The freezing causes the grape cells to burst, concentrating the sugars and flavors. This freezing gives the wine a rich flavor. Unlike icewine, which is limited to grapes that are firmly frozen at -8°C or below, there is no temperature restriction, so there is less risk in production.

It's easier to drink than ice wine.

Late harvesting allows the grapes to have a higher sugar content. The sugar content is between 30 and 34 degrees, giving it a sweet taste. It has just the right amount of sweetness for an icewine, making it ideal for pairing with food.

Grape variety

Late harvest wines can also be chosen as red or white. The grapes used for late harvest wines are broadly divided into three types: Vidal, Riesling, and Cabernet Franc.

● Vidal

A variety mainly grown in Canada. It has a taste of tropical fruits such as apple mango and honey. Its thick skin and strong cold resistance make it suitable for dessert wine.

● Riesling

A popular variety in Canada and Germany. It has a good balance of sweetness and sourness, and a taste reminiscent of green apples and citrus. Its clean sweetness makes it a great choice for those who like white wine.

● Cabernet Franc

A popular variety for red wine. It is red like strawberries and has a flavor of berries and cherries. It has a rich sweetness like strawberry jam. Recommended for those who like red wine and sweet wine.
