CAROLUS is our premier wine offering. The name and the wine pays homage to our great state of North Carolina, where we are based. The Carolinas were named to honor King Charles IX of France, King Charles I & King Charles II of England. The Latin name for Charles is Carolus and thus the name given to the Carolinas. The XII signifies that North Carolina was the 12th colony to join of the original 13 colonies of what became this great country.

A Port Style Dessert Wine

This release is the fourth step in our journey of an old-world style of “port” made using the Solera method. Although we cannot call it Port per the Government regulations because in 2005, the EU and US reached a bilateral accord to end a round of negotiations that had lasted twenty years. One of the significant parts of the agreement was that American wines could no longer use place names such as Champagne, Chianti, or Port on new wine labels unless you were commercially using them prior to that date.

The "Solera" style process is when we combine the past vintages ageing in barrels with the current vintage. We take just enough to bottle the current year and leave the remaining to continue to age with more air space or "ullage" in the barrel which accelerates the oxidative effects on the wine, slowly turning the "ruby" ports more "tawny".

So, this release is a combination of 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 vintages. These vintages have been ageing in French and American oak. Next year will be a combination of 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022. And so on. So, in 20 years, in every bottle will be 20 consecutive years blended into 1 bottle! - A time capsule!!!

This wine is one that can age for decades if you have the willpower. if you do not finish this bottle in the same day, simply put the cork in and put in your refrigerator until next use. It will be very drinkable for 4-6 weeks after.

This "sweet wine" was made from the same Vidal Blanc and Traminette as the Golden Hallows, just different percentges. The finished wine is then blended with the "sweet reserve" juice, which is just the pressed grape juice, to provide the residual sugar. It has a residual sugar level of just over 8 imparting the perfect acid and sweetness. Although we label it as a sweet wine, it is flexible enough to complement Pâté, Foie Gras and ripened cheese. This exceptional wine was made in limited quantities without undergoing a secondary fermentation to preserve the bright fruit and mineral qualities.

Devil’s Hill derives its name from the devilishly difficult hillside where we grow varieties that are included in this wine. This hill at 1024 feet above sea level, is situated on a beautiful south-facing slope at a 27.6° angle, which makes for very difficult farming and harvesting. Because of the hill’s incline and the underlying quartzite granite and quartz schist along with decades of erosion it causes these vines to dig very deeply with slow progress to establish themselves. The first harvest was not for six years after the original planting.

You will pick up the alluring minerality, an almost crushed stone, and a flinty aspect on the nose and palate. This wine has a rustic quality imparting enchanting aromatics and flavors of dark cherry, shortbread cookie, spice, forest floor, crushed stone, and overtones of shaved dark chocolate. The mouthfeel is vibrant but lush with a long lingering finish and grippy tannins.
