Philip Carter Winery Late Harvest Dessert Wine, 2008, retail value $20.00

Hume, Virginia

Late harvest wines are made from grapes that are left on the vine even after they’ve reached their peak ripeness. When grapes are literally left hanging, they become sweeter over time as each individual grape dehydrates and the sugar content becomes more concentrated.  The perfect end to your enchanted evening.
