Vendange tardive is a term used in winemaking to describe a late harvest wine

Vendange tardive is a term used in winemaking to describe a late harvest wine. It refers to the practice of intentionally picking grapes later in the season, allowing them to fully ripen on the vine and develop higher sugar levels. This can result in wines that are rich, sweet, and concentrated in flavor. Vendange tardive wines are frequently produced in cool climate regions where the grapes benefit from an extended hang time on the vine.
