With a careful winemaking process and proper aging, wines can last several years after it is released and continue to develop to the point of perfection. At Turiya, I keep a small amount of older vintage wines in the library to help with the assessment of the lifespan of the wine. This purposeful extended aging allows me to continue to bottle age these wines, tasting them during the process, and making valuable notes for future vintages. I invite you to add some of these rare wines to your collection, each on truly gets better and better. ~ Cheers! Angela

Who say's God's not a girl? The Golden God (or goddess), is a beacon of hope, like a fog horn early in the morning. This gentle beauty is a symbol of female strength. She exhibits the darker undersides of the earth, perhaps where a volcano once erupted. This wine was aged for 44 months, gaining wisdom and strength. Are you feeling powerful yet?
