Story: 2022 was a successful year for us, especially regarding the crop. The weather was so warm that we could harvest fully ripened grapes with high sugar level. To obtain the Superior title, the wine must be at a higher level from the harvesting to the actual taste, so we only make this type of wine from the best vintages.
