THE LITTLE STORY | L’Insula is the only sweet wine we produce at the vineyard. For the past few years, we have been producing our own spirit from grape pomace. This allows us to create a fortified wine that is entirely authentic, local and organic. Many people are hesitant at first… but after the first sip, it often becomes a favourite.

TASTING NOTES | Deep golden yellow colour with slightly amber highlights. An explosive nose evoking grappa and toasted cereals, with notes of candied orange peel, pear, mango and dried apricot. The palate is velvety, where sweetness, acidity and alcohol are beautifully balanced. The finish is long and dominated by flavours of dried fruits.

FORTIFICATION | With our own grape pomace eau-de-vie

VINIFICATION | 1 year in stainless steel tanks followed by 3 to 10 years aging in American oak barrels
