2021 Long Night Pommeau

Apple

VA - Shenandoah Valley
Alcohol 19%
Bronze GLINTCAP 2023

Long Night is our winter pommeau (port-style fortified apple wine). We do a light fermentation on a blend of Harrison and Dabinett apples before adding eau de vie (un-aged brandy) distilled from our Dry River Reserve to increase the alcohol percentage above the fermentation tolerance. This arrests fermentation, leaving a naturally sweet yet high alcohol and stable mixture. We then age this mixture in freshly-dumped bourbon barrels from A Smith Bowman in Fredericksburg for a minimum of 12 months. The result is a wonderfully complex fortified dessert apple wine. Strong notes of stewed apple, butterscotch, caramel, vanilla, berry, and brandy on the nose and palate with a natural assertive sweetness, balanced tannin, and warming alcohol.
