Pomegranate Dessert Wine (750ml)

1     100% organically grown pomegranates are tree ripened, picked, juiced and fermented. Fermentation was arrested with Charbay’s own pot distilled Pinot Noir Brandy that was aged in French oak.The flavor starts out sweet, then bursts into bright tart flavors, capturing the earthiness of fresh pomegranates.

Charbay works directly with a grower family in central CA. Pairs well with roasted chestnuts, with cigars or as a reduction sauce over ice cream or pound cake.

Winemaker Notes: “We fermented organically grown pomegranate juice and arrested the fermentation with our own Pinot Noir barrel aged brandy.  It has a full body and rich mouth feel.  The acidity is unlike a grape based port. The finish lingers on, refreshingly balanced and clean. It captures the earthiness and spiciness of fresh pomegranates.  This is port, but since port legally can only be made with grapes, we call it ‘dessert wine'.

Pomegranate Dessert Wine can be enjoyed at room temp, chilled & even on the rocks with soda water when it's hot out.  It can be used in a reduction sauce for pouring over ice cream or used in a saute of pork medallions.  Pairs well with chocolate desserts. Calistoga Ranch, in Napa Valley, loves it!
