A “little sweetie” shines at 2015 International Sweet Wine Challenge

The 10th annual International Sweet Wine Challenge (ISWC) highlighted the diversity on offer in this category, with the top trophy presented to a Viognier for the first time. Previous winning wines have included Semillon, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Gewurztraminer, but this year it was time for Viognier to shine.
The 2013 Freeman Dolcino (meaning “little sweetie”) is made from Viognier grapes harvested at very high sugar levels and fermented by wild yeasts in a combination of old and new oak barrels.
