Back Sweet Driver
Are we there yet? We know it feels like you’ve been cooped up and waiting forever. Well that’s exactly how these wines have felt too! These solera style dessert wines have been in barrel aging to perfection for years. The oldest wine in the Monkeyshine is 12 years aged, and the oldest in the Bootlegger is 16 years. Every time we release these treats, they are better and better!
Multiple vintages of estate Viognier, all barrel aged together Solera style, and then finished with a 2 year aged Viognier brandy, the Bootlegger is a showstopper! Boasting rich caramel notes, with a hint of peach on the nose, the caramel floods the palate with deep caramel, warm hazelnuts and just a pinch of spice. Enjoy this on it’s own, with fruit pies, carrot cake, or crème brulee.
Multiple vintages of estate red wines including Zinfandel, Petite Sirah and Syrah, all barrel aged together Solera style, and then finished with a 2 year aged brandy that puts our Monkeyshine over the top! Layers of dark fruit, fudgy chocolate, and a hint of nuttiness round out this tasty treat. Enjoy with any chocolate desert, a pungent cheese plate, or simply a toasty fireplace.
