(Means “White Wine” in Gaelic)

Rich, golden, and beautifully decadent, this high-quality late harvest Vidal Blanc white port wine is a luxurious expression of New Mexico’s Rio Grande Valley. Intensely aromatic, it opens with notes of honeyed apricot, candied orange peel, and ripe peach, layered with hints of pineapple, toasted almond, and warm baking spice. The palate is silky and full-bodied, delivering concentrated flavors of caramelized stone fruit, citrus marmalade, and golden raisin, balanced by vibrant acidity that keeps the sweetness lifted and refined. Subtle notes of vanilla, butterscotch, and spice add depth and elegance. Lush yet structured, this white port finishes long and warming with lingering honey, citrus, and nutty complexity.
