Dessert Wines
New Wine! Photo coming soon
Chocolate Granfinalé: Serve Chocolate Granfinalé at room temperature as or with dessert.
2006 Finalé Premier Red: Every fine meal needs a finalé and the Tassel Ridge Finalé is just the answer. With big flavor, residual sugar at about 11%, and alcohol at 17.3%, Finalé is “dessert-in-a-bottle” or the perfect compliment to Maytag blue cheese, salted cashews, and high-cocoa solids dark chocolate. Note that Finalé does NOT work well with milk chocolate because milk chocolate is sweeter than the wine. With dessert wines, the operating principle is that the wine should always be sweeter than the dessert.
Tassel Ridge Finalé is made from grapes typically used in making Port wines in Portugal: Tinta Roriz, Tinta Cão, Touriga Nacional, and Alvarinho. We imported these grapes from California in the fall of 2005.
