Wine Production
The grapes were fermented on skins for several days then fortified with fine brandy spirit, distilled through Yalumba’s very own still. During the ageing process, between 2-3% of the wine will evaporate each year, also known as the ‘angel’s share’. Combined with maturation over 21 years, the resultant wines are rich and concentrated, and meticulously blended to produce this aged tawny.
