This is an absolutely amazing wine, and must be tasted to be believed. The 2000 The Straw Man Vin de Paille is 7% alcohol with 44.9% residual sugar. The grapes were air-dried for two months, and pressed at an amazing 56% sugar. It is 100% Semillon from the Brander Vineyard. A remarkable elixir, it competes favorably with the world’s greatest nectars. Sadly, this wine can only be purchased via the winery’s mailing list. Tel. (805) 649-8901
