i swine was one of the original wines produced for piggs peake back in 2003. the style is created by squeezing grape juice against a membrane with the intention of removing water in order to falsely increase sweetness in the final wine. it's a clean, intense dessert wine style perfectly suited to soft, runny cheeses. Vintage – 2024 ABV – 9% Standard drinks – 5.3 Winery – piggs peake Tasting notes the traditional method for making i swine involves growing the grapes somewhere where it gets freezing cold. the grapes par-freeze on the vine and are picked in this semi-frozen state. squeezing them at this time results in a sweet, syrupy juice. we have found we can mimic this effect to some extent using reverse osmosis techniques.
