The grapes come from the estate’s high-altitude, limestone-rich parcels around Sierre. The sweet wine was made from overripe or passerillé white grapes and matured for 80 months in used barriques. The long ageing combines concentrated aromas of candied apricot, quince and dried fruit with supporting acidity. Despite its high sweetness, the vintage is therefore balanced and not broad; Falstaff reports 165 g/l residual sugar and a low sulphur content.
