Hillside Winery

Our port-style wine originated in 2011 with the fortification of a barrel of partially fermented merlot and Syrah juice. Each vintage we add a barrel to the program, choosing the varietal we find most exciting that year. This “solera method” blend is now comprised of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon from subsequent vintages.

A classically-made Icewine. Aromas of apricot blossom and strawberry-rhubarb jam, open to a palate of praline and cherry preserves in this rich nectar.
