Vendange Tardive


See Vendange Tardive producers See a list of Vendange Tardive wines

"Vendange Tardive"  (VT) is a particular classification for Alsace wines and it signifies a late harvest wine with greater-than-usal concentration of natural sugars which is the result of the grapes having achieved minimum required ripeness levels (the top producers consistently exceed these).

Vendange Tardive translates as Late Harvest. Vendange Tardive wines can vary from almost dry (but exceptionally concentrated) to very sweet, although, typically no information on the sweetness level is given on labels.

The best of Vendage Tardive wines have great potential for ageing.
