Noble Rot

Do I Sauternes you on? About the design: Sauternes is a sweet wine from Graves in the Bordeaux region of France. This dessert wine is made from Semillion, Sauvignon Blanc & Muscadelle grapes infected with Botrytis cinerea or "Noble Rot." This fungus weakens the grape skins which allows the water inside the fruit to evaporate causing them to raisin. The infected clusters are left with concentrated sugars & acids that when fermented, make delicious & highly prized dessert wines that taste of honeyed apricots, butterscotch & spices. Sauternes was included in the famous Bordeaux Classification of 1855, a ranking system put in place by Napoleon III the basis of which is still used today. The Grape Republic Co. t-shirts are made for wine geeks, by a wine geek. Each design features fun (& funny) wine industry inside sayings, jokes and terminology that appeal to casual drinkers and wine connoisseurs alike!   Product details: This Triblend tee combines the comfort of cotton
