I tasted this wine at the tasting where a number of wines made by Lucas Ferraris from the Ruche grape a couple of weeks ago. Apart from two dry wines, this sweet example made from dried grapes was also shown. They were also matching it with mooncakes, but I did not try this combination.
Selected cluster of super ripe grapes were dried in wooden containers for several months in temperature and humidity controlled room, and then fermented with a light pressing at the end before undergoing several months of barrique aging. The wine was deep garnet in colour, with a sweet pruney acid nose. This sweet pruney character carried on into the palate, well supported by a sweet acid backbone.
