Korbel Gold Reserve VSOP (Very Special Old Pale) Brandy is aged exclusively in premium oak barrels for over two years and has the richness, complexity, and smoothness best savored from a snifter. Both white and red grapes are harvested at night to make sure the grapes arrive cool to the distillery. Cool grapes help us to make a brandy base wine which captures the natural fruit essences found in California grapes.
