Sommelier's Note

The finest TBA from Franken—liquid gold at botrytis's absolute zenith.

New to wine?

Think of this as liquid gold—sip it slowly like a fine cognac and let its incredible depth wash over you.

Food Pairings

Pairs exceptionally well with blue cheese, foie gras, and fruit-based desserts. Its high acidity also cuts through the richness of creamy dishes beautifully.

When to drink it

Perfect for milestone celebrations, anniversaries, or as a meditative final pour to conclude an exceptional dinner.

Terroir & Winemaking

Grapes are harvested at the peak of botrytis infection—only the most shriveled, raisin-like berries are selected by hand. Fermentation proceeds slowly in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures to preserve aromatic purity. Aged on fine lees to build complexity and texture.
