Deep blackberry nose with an oak barrel profile and warming brandy heat with gentle oxidation to deliver the port style. Made in a port style; we ferment whole berries, digested by enzyme action to yield their juice. The wine is then settled and filtered, oaked with a medium toast spiral and then fortified with our custom-distilled apple brandy, produced for us at Skip Rock Distillers.
Serve at room temp in a port glass as a digestif or after-dinner wine. Lovely with a salad in the first course, as a sipping wine with oatmeal raisin cookies or biscotti.
Sweetness: Sweet but not wholly dessert. Retains some naturally occurring sugar.
