Jeunesse: The Sweet Side of Red

Made with Muscat Hamburg grapes from California, this wine halts its fermentation to preserve natural sugars, achieving a sweet profile that is best enjoyed chilled. A Kosher (Mevushal) gem for those seeking a refreshing and different experience.

Unlike other reds, this wine should be served very cold, between 8°C and 10°C. This highlights its floral freshness and balances its natural sweetness.
