The wine is rich and sweet, and has ample acidity to balance the sugar, resulting in a sensational, full-bodied, dessert wine with a long finish. The oak embellishes the wine by imparting a subtle nutty flavor and by increasing complexity.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Reminiscent of a top-flight Sauternes, Paumanok’s 2000 Sauvignon Blanc Late Harvest was fermented entirely in new oak. Its lovely, super-ripe apple aromas are intermingled with spices and oak scents. It is plump, medium-bodied, oily, and crammed with candied white fruits, oranges, and red berries. Long, sweet, well-balanced, and focused, this first-rate sweet wine has the potential for 10-12 years of cellaring.

Producer Information

Founded in the spring of 1983, our 127 acre estate is entirely owned and managed by Ursula and Charles Massoud, and our three sons. Born and raised in the “Old World”, wine has always been a part of our lives and we continue the tradition at Paumanok Vineyards. Only premium vinifera grapevines are planted, consisting of Chardonnay, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The traditional dense planting of the vineyards at 1100 to 1400 vines per acre produces more concentrated fruit and therefore higher quality wines. For our wines, only estate grown grapes are used and production is limited to fewer than 12,000 cases.
