Known for its exceptional quality, Dolce specializes in crafting late harvest wines that are often referred to as "liquid gold" due to their rich, golden color and opulent flavors. The 2017 vintage is no exception, embodying the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail that Dolce Winery is renowned for. This late harvest wine is primarily made from a blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes, which are left on the vines longer than usual to develop higher sugar levels and complexity. The grapes are affected by Botrytis cinerea, commonly known as noble rot, which concentrates the sugars and flavors in the berries. The 2017 Dolce Napa Valley Late Harvest Wine undergoes fermentation and aging in French oak barrels, a process that enhances its complexity and imparts subtle oak nuances to the wine. The careful selection of grapes and the extended aging process contribute to the wine's distinctive character and luxurious texture. The 2017 Dolce Napa Valley Late Harvest Wine is celebrated for its rich and harmonious flavor profile. It features luscious aromas of apricot, honey, and orange marmalade, complemented by hints of vanilla and spice from the oak aging. On the palate, it offers a creamy texture with vibrant acidity that balances the wine's natural sweetness, leading to a long, satisfying finish. This wine pairs beautifully with a variety of desserts, such as crème brûlée, fruit tarts, and blue cheese, making it an ideal choice for special occasions and sophisticated gatherings. The 2017 vintage of Dolce Napa Valley Late Harvest Wine exemplifies the artistry and dedication of Dolce Winery, providing an exquisite dessert wine experience.
