2022 Eclipse Port-Style
Our 2022 Eclipse Port-Style Dessert Wine displays flavors of rich blackberry jam and sweet dark-chocolate which develops into dried fruit and spice. The complexity on this red dessert wine is made in the traditional port style.
Tasting Notes
Our Port-style dessert wine is made with our estate grown traditional Portuguese port varietal Touriga Nacional. The dessert wine is aged in neutral barrels for 2 years before being blended & bottled. Estate Grown, Produced, & Bottled. The grapes are picked very ripe, nearly raisined, with rich blackberry, chocolate & jam flavors. Halfway through fermentation, high-proof brandy (90% alcohol, 180 proof) is added to kill off the yeast and stop the fermentation, leaving natural sugars from the grapes unfermented. The result is a boozy, sweet, blackberry & chocolate flavor profile that pairs perfectly with dessert.Wine Profile
