the grapes are put in stainless steel tanks

Sauternes is different from other sweet wines for two reasons

Cassis liqueur intermixed with earth, asphalt, prunes, black tea, and spice box aromas jump from the glass of this dark ruby purple colored effort. The acidity is low, the concentration level impressive, and the wine beautifully textured with all of its elements nicely integrated.
