For drinking with dinner I generally prefer wines with around 13.5% alcohol percentage. This particular wine is definitely over the top at 15.3%, yet you don't notice it in the taste as much as some others of slightly lower alcohol content that I have experienced.

Here's a question for you as a winemaker since my knowledge in this area is limited: What are the factors that determine alcohol content in wine? Is it temperature and precipitation in the growing of grapes or are there other factors involved? What do you consider ideal if that aspect can be controlled or does it depend on the style or type of wine produced?
