Details
Made from mostly Grenache, these wines are harvested late in the season when the natural sugars have built up to super high levels, and then the wine is fortifed halfway through the fermentation. The resultant wine is somewhat similar to port – rich, chocolatey and unctuous.

Pairing guide
The obvious match is chocolate, thae flavours are just so harmonious. But it works well with blue cheese as well! The sweetness is a lovely foil for the saltiness of the cheese.
