Something a little sweeter, dessert wines, and aperitifs

Striking the right balance between the classic, herbaceous Vermut tones, hints of sweetness, and berry and fruit forward accents this is a match made in heaven for a few ice cubes and a fresh fruit garnish.

Spain- Cariñena
Varietal; Garnacha

Dark mahogany color, very deep raisin bouquet and flavor; it is complex, very rich and smooth with extra liquid raisin, fig, and date.

Wonderful freshness and balance, it’s delightfully fizzy and delicately sweet with peach and floral notes.

Sweet and velvety, floral and fruity, there is a harmony in this wine between the seductive fragrance and delightful hints of botrytis that dances across your palate with dried apricot, honey, and candied fruits.

Italy- Friuli
Varietal; Picolit

One of the few wines that pairs well with and is a match made in heaven for chocolate.

Italy- Piedmont
Varietal; Brachetto

A rich, unctuous feel and a racy panoply of dried apricot, fig, mango, and quince flavors. Underscored by a lively blood orange note and backed by a long, ginger and green tea filled finish. 

South Africa
Varietal; Muscat

Oh-so smooth with notes of sweet black raspberry, ripe cherry, black currant and purple plum with hints of floral like lavender and violets.

California
Varietal; Zinfandel

The Leydiers are particularly proud of their Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise, a vin doux naturel, as they are among the last to craft it in the traditional style. This dessert wine displays concentrated notes of ripe pear and apricot.

France- Provence
Var

Rich and full of lush fruit notes like dried, sweet apricots, honey and caramel and accented with hints of vanilla, baking spices, and almonds

Italy- Tuscany
Varietals; Trebbiano, Sangiovese, Malvasia

Rich and robust, this is filled with off-dry flavors of coffee, plum tart, cream and coconut with intense blackberry jam and succulent rich flavors.

A meditative wine, boasting delicate perfume with a hint of violets and dried fruit. The taste is delicate yet velvety.

Italy- Veneto
Varietals; Corvina, Rodinella, Molinara

Citric and tropical, the palate has a zesty zip, is velvety smooth, and layers of flavor that are loaded with citrus and tropical fruits and undertones of minerality and herbs.

Australia
Varietals; Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc
