Domaine Pecheur Jura Vin de Paille 2009

100% Savagnin

"Vin de paille" or "straw wine" is one of the Jura's specialities. This is a sweet wine, produced from a selection of the finest grapes from the harvests, that traditionally are then dried for several months on racks (or straw in past times - hence their name) to concentrate the sugar and the flavours, before being pressed. The wine is aged in small barrels for at least three years to develop its flavours of candied fruit, prunes, honey, caramel or candied oranges.  14.5% ABV
