Mercator Fortified Castel

2010 was an exceptional growing season for the Castel grape, producing berries with high Brix and wonderful flavours. To highlight such an impressive harvest, we crafted this unique Fortified Castel by combining it with Nova Scotian-made wine spirits,  allowing it to age for almost 10 years, and completing its aging in French oak barrels.
