2006 Brandenburg No.3

to access the story about the origin of this wine in our news archive.

This sweet amber wine is named for the No.3 Brandenburg concerto. Its rich, earthy, smoky, caramel-coffee notes pair wonderfully with foie gras, charcuterie, a cheese and hazelnut platter and, for the more adventurous, spice-crusted duck in a heart-stopping coffee cocoa sauce. Also wonderful with the Five Spice Crème Brulée and the Orange Hazelnut Fennel Biscotti on our Recipes page. This particular vintage shows deeper colour than the 2005 and an extremely rich palate. Request the unfiltered version for an exceptional experience. It is more temperature sensitive, but the extra care is worth it.

After harvesting and pressing the grapes (predominantly Madeleine Sylvaner), we simmered the juice gently over an open fire to concentrate the natural sugar, acid and flavours and fermented it with a special yeast isolated from our property. The fermentation lasted a full year, then the wine was finished in new French oak. A small amount of the volume is kept as the starter for the next vintage.

The No.3 has had no sulphites or preservatives added. 7.5% alcohol.

MUST BE STORED BELOW 14°C AND REFRIGERATED AFTER OPENING.
