Carefully selected and harvested late, this wine benefits from extended aging on fine lees, which enhances both its complexity and longevity. The quality of the LR (late release) wines is further emphasized through this designation. These wines are only released when they are truly ready. The extended time involved transforms the entire production process: late harvest and long aging on the fine lees turn these wines into the long-distance runners they are meant to be. Wines that, even after years, continue to captivate with their unique vitality.
