Alpha Omega Winery

The Proprietary Red is a classic Bordeaux-style blend w/ a high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon, but also a greater presence of Merlot, Cabernet Franc & Petit Verdot. This type of blending tends to make a wine that is denser, w/ more diversity in its profile. Due to the almost equal balance of Merlot & Cabernet Sauvignon & equal balance of Cabernet Franc & Petit Verdot, we consider this a bit more of an “intellectual” wine.

The‎ Late Harvest is made out of two varietals, Sauvignon Blanc & Semillon. They are left on the vines for an extended period of time, for a fungus called botrytis, the noble rot, to grow on the skins. Botrytis creates channels through which water can evaporate in order to concentrate the grape w/ sugar. Our Late Harvest is a typical Sauternes style of wine, but our goal is to make sure to have enough acidity to balance the sweetness.
