Doce Dessert Wine
This is a Port-styled dessert wine and is best described as a Ruby port. We wanted to honor the Portuguese tradition of making port by using the Portuguese word Doce, which means “sweet”.
Tasting notes
This silky dessert wine has an enticing aroma of plum jam and almonds. Deep ruby colors with warm flavors of honey, vanilla and cinnamon make this wine a perfect after dinner wine.
-
We recommend serving this with roasted walnuts, Stilton or Gorgonzola cheese, dark chocolates or cherry tarts.
Production notes
We use wine made from Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon and fortify it with Idaho grape spirits made by Koenig Distillery. Barreled in American oak for one year.
