Stellaport (NV –) Wine Details
Price: $36.90 per bottle

Description: Stellaport is a lively port-style wine made exclusively from the rich Stella cherry grown on the winery site. Cherries are harvested only from a specific area of the orchard that received concentrated southwest exposure. In crafting Stellaport we employ the grape tawny technique of a ‘solera’ system in which a “mother barrel” was established in 2001. Each year we release half of the barrel replacing it with that year’s vintage. The current release of Stellaport represents the 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 vintages. Four years in French Oak has resulted in a rich-port style wine, loaded with chocolate and cherry notes from start to never-ending finish.
