Extended hang time allows the fruit to achieve heightened concentration and richness while maintaining the acidity necessary for balance. The region’s volcanic and marine sedimentary soils contribute depth and structure, helping preserve freshness beneath the wine’s naturally opulent profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"564\" data-end=\"1071\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"564\" data-end=\"596\"\u003eWinemaking \u0026amp; Technical Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"596\" data-end=\"599\"\u003eCrafted in a rare late-harvest red style, the fruit is left on the vine well beyond traditional harvest timing to concentrate sugars, flavors, and texture. Fermentation is carefully managed to preserve richness while maintaining balance and varietal character. The resulting wine bridges the gap between dessert wine and structured red wine, offering both sweetness and depth without becoming cloying. The winemaking emphasizes intensity, texture, and aromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1073\" data-end=\"1563\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1073\" data-end=\"1090\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1090\" data-end=\"1093\"\u003eDeep garnet in the glass, the wine opens with aromas of black cherry compote, raspberry preserves, plum, and dried cranberry layered with notes of baking spice, cocoa, and floral undertones. The palate is lush and velvety, delivering concentrated dark berry fruit balanced by fresh acidity and gentle tannic structure. Hints of mocha, spice, and dried herbs emerge on the long, rich finish, which remains remarkably lifted despite the wine’s sweetness and concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1565\" data-end=\"1887\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1565\" data-end=\"1591\"\u003eFood Pairing \u0026amp; Service\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1591\" data-end=\"1594\"\u003eA versatile dessert-oriented red, this wine pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, berry tarts, blue cheeses, and rich chocolate desserts. It also works surprisingly well alongside foie gras or savory dishes with fruit-driven sauces. Serve slightly cool to highlight its freshness and balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1889\" data-end=\"2203\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1889\" data-end=\"1912\"\u003eCellaring Potential\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1912\" data-end=\"1915\"\u003eWith its concentration, sugar, and acidity, this wine has the structure to evolve gracefully for 10–15+ years. Over time, the fruit profile will become deeper and more complex, developing additional notes of dried fig, spice, leather, and cocoa while maintaining its richness and balance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ken Wright Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46165091877060,"sku":"GV-KE56000101","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/8635\/9236\/files\/KenWrightCellars_PerseverenceofSpirit_LateHarvestRed500ml.jpg?v=1779453045","url":"https:\/\/www.prismfinewine.com\/products\/ken-wright-cellars-perseverence-of-spirit-late-harvest-red-500ml","provider":"Prism Fine Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
