Step back in time to the turbulent era of Prohibition with the Kings of Prohibition series, where Old Tawny Roy Olmstead wine pays a vibrant tribute to the heady days of Prohibition in California.

Special series of wines from Kings of Prohibition

The Kings of Prohibition series reflects a time when alcohol prohibition cast a shadow over the country, but where, for example, Roy Olmstead found ways to circumvent the law. He was a police lieutenant who was guilty of smuggling liquor. This tribute uses a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Ruby Cabernet Sauvignon, and Shiraz. But what is most special is the way this wine ages. Kings of Prohibition Old Tawny Roy Olmstead has its origins in the vast vineyards of Australia, a country long celebrated for its excellent wines. Although Australia is considered a "new world" of wine production, the southeast of the country is particularly home to magnificent vineyards that thrive in the favorable climate.

Long-term maturation in whisky barrels

The grapes for this exceptional wine are harvested at their peak ripeness. After a short period of fermentation on the skins, the wine undergoes a careful vinification process. Grape spirits are added during fermentation, resulting in a unique character development. A specific portion of the wine is aged for a year in used whisky barrels, where it further develops its depth and complexity. After this phase, the wine is clarified and stabilized, and a portion continues to age in barrels at room temperature.

The distinctive aromas of Kings of Prohibition Old Tawny Roy Olmstead

Kings of Prohibition Old Tawny Roy Olmstead enchants with its medium tawny color and lush, warming flavor. The aroma reveals distinctive aromas of toffee, vanilla, cherries, and caramel. From the first sip, the full, rich flavor is immediately apparent. Although the wine has a sweet undertone, it surprises with a fresh and lively finish. The finish also reveals notes of vanilla and toasted bread, completing the tasting experience.
