Description
The name refers to a printing error on a Swedish stamp. The normal three skilling stamp is colored green while the eight skilling stamp was printed in yellow. However, due to an unknown error (but most likely the three skilling plate was accidently replaced by an eight skilling one), the three skilling stamp was printed in yellow, creating the Treskilling Yellow Stamp. The only known copy of the Treskilling Yellow was discovered by a schoolboy named Georg Wilhelm Baeckman in 1886 while going through his grandparents' attic. To this date, this is the only copy known in existence and is worth about $80 billion/pound by weight - one of the most expensive objects in the world

The grape berries were hand selected over a three week period. Only grapes which have been shriveled by the Noble rot ?Botrytis Cyneria? were selected. The grapes are crushed and left on the skins for 3 hours. The must is fermented using natural yeast?s , which occur naturally in the vineyard. The must ferments at around 17°C-19°C. The wine is left on the lees and then these lees are stirred initially once a week, and then every third week during the first six months. The wine was in barrel for 19 months There was no fining or filtration before bottling. Sulphur levels are kept to a minimum.
