Sweetness: Dessert Wine

Alcohol Percentage: 18.5% abv

Bottle Volume: 375 ml.

AROMA & FLAVOR

In the spirit of the cordial, we blend the warmth of our custom-distilled apple brandy with the tantalizing and earthy depth of organic black currant for a sweet and sumptuous dessert wine. Bright apple brandy carries the earthy depth of the black currant. Sumptuous, thick, tart and full of rich, ripe flavor.

PAIRINGS & SERVING SUGGESTIONS

A few ounces in a cordial cup, at room temperature, is a rich delight. Lovely paired with dessert or as dessert itself. Add a splash to sparkling cider or wine for a Kir Royale variation. Drizzle on ice cream, use in baking or mix in a vinaigrette.
