This rare wine belongs to Hermitage appellation, and it is made from white Marsanne grapes. Vin de Paille is a French term that refers to straw wines—which are produced from ripe grapes that are left to dry on straw mats before they are pressed.
The process results in golden yellow wines that display luscious aromas of honey, candied fruits, almonds, and caramel. Because of their well-balanced acidity and sweetness, these wines are great on their own, but they can also match fruit or honey-based desserts and foie gras.
Just like other Hermitage wines, they age exceptionally well.
