Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Dolce’s style goals are foremost to express the fruitfulness of the vintage nuanced with spice, for the aromas, flavors and finish to be lifted, reminiscent of one another, and enduring, and for the finishing impressions to compel a second sip. The 2016 vintage exemplifies all those traits beginning with aromas of apricot, pear, honeysuckle, all-spice, and vanilla. Similar fruitful flavors follow the oily and lively entry but this vintage has flavors also suggestive of a treat along the lines of crème brûlée and bread pudding. The texture is particularly watering on entry carries the flavors into its long, juicy and satisfying finish!

Blend: 88% Semillon, 12% Sauvignon Blanc

    This is a superb sweet wine from America with candied apples, pears, pineapple, and hints of spices. Some flint. Dense and spicy. Really sweet and flavorful. Dried apricot at the end. The real deal.

Dolce was founded in 1989 by the three partners of Far Niente as they started pursuing the goal of creating world-class late-harvest wine in the Napa Valley. Dolce devotes itself exclusively to the production of a single late-harvest wine blended from botrytised Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc.

Apart from the classics, we find many regional gems of different styles.

Late harvest wines are probably the easiest to understand. Grapes are picked so late that the sugars build up and residual sugar remains after the fermentation process. Ice wine, a style founded in Germany and there referred to as eiswein, is an extreme late harvest wine, produced from grapes frozen on the vine, and pressed while still frozen, resulting in a higher concentration of sugar. It is becoming a specialty of Canada as well, where it takes on the English name of ice wine.

Vin Santo, literally “holy wine,” is a Tuscan sweet wine made from drying the local white grapes Trebbiano Toscano and Malvasia in the winery and not pressing until somewhere between November and March.

Rutherglen is an historic wine region in northeast Victoria, Australia, famous for its fortified Topaque and Muscat with complex tawny characteristics.
