Natural Sweet Fortified Wine
$60.00
Let’s rewind, to one of the oldest methods from France that dates back to the 1200’s. To make this wine we use older vintages of our late harvest and red wine, then we fortify it with brandy and blend it to create a one of a kind crowd-pleaser resembling that of a gorgeous young port. These mostly deep red wines are bottled early and age gracefully, like great red wines.
Tasting notes – Enticing notes of prune and wild blueberry. Smooth and long, with a hint of liquorice in the finish. Fruity… with a twist!
Varietals – Marquette, petit pearl, vidal late harvest, and fortified with French brandy
Pairings – Picture this: you’re sipping this beauty and tasting hard cheeses, charcuterie and dried fruit and nuts. It’s a lovely afternoon.
Story behind the label – The 18th century neo-Gothic king’s chair has found a home in our tasting room. We cannot confirm nor deny that Louis XIV himself may have once sat in this chair.
