The historical sweet desert wine. Harvested grapes are spread out in the sun to dry until their sugar density reaches 19-23 Baume. Once achieved, the grapes are crushed & fermented until the process stops naturally due to the high sugar content. The must is then aged in oak barrels for a minimum of two years. Similar to the solera system, the barrels are never completely emptied. New juice is added to the barrel containing old juice & the process begins again. St. John Commandaria is a sweet wine with a powerful bouquet filled with dried fruits, spices & oak. It is luscious & full-bodied.
