D’Angelo Fortified Foch

Gary Killops — Sun, 06 Mar 2011 12:43:29 +0000

Winemaker’s Notes:
This dessert wine was made by adding Canadian Spirits on day three of the fermentation, thus raising the alcohol to 15.4% and leaving the natural sugar unfermented and then barrel aged.

A port style wine (10). Pair it with chocolate for a special treat.

Vintage: (undated)

D’Angelo Iced Foch Vidal 2008

Gary Killops — Sat, 22 Jan 2011 20:56:04 +0000

Winemaker’s Notes:
Our famous Iced Foch blended with Late Harvest Vidal for a refreshing dessert.

Some grapes are left on the vine past normal harvest, past first frost 0C and as cold as -10C, which will freeze the fruit. The grapes are picked and pressed to yield a natural level from 24 brix to as high as 40 brix. Through blending our winemaker Sal D’Angelo has achieved a Canadian dessert wine with 100% natural sweetness. Enjoy after a meal, with dessert, or by itself.
