Introducing one of our winery's signature products - the Cerise!
This exceptional drink is crafted by fermenting our tart cherry juice to 8.5% ABV, then fortified with in-house distilled cherry brandy. The final product is a naturally sweet fortified wine that contains residual sugars from the cherries and a warm alcoholic sensation of 19% ABV, complemented by the tart cherries' lively acidity.
Food Pairing Suggestion
Indulge in our Cerise as a sweet digestif, perfect for enjoying on its own. If you're in search of a pleasing combination, here are a few recommendations:
- Dark Chocolate: You can't go wrong with dark chocolate and cherries. Perfect with chocolate truffles and other decadent chocolatey treats!
- Blue Cheese: The tangy and savory character of blue cheese offer a delightful contrast to the fruity notes of our Cerise.
- Roasted Nuts: The combination of nuttiness and subtle saltiness perfectly complements the sweetness of our Cerise
- Fruit-Based Desserts: Since our fortified cherry wine has opulent fruity flavors, desserts like cherry pie, berry tarts, or dark fruit-based desserts can be a great match. The similar fruit profiles create a harmonious pairing.
- Poured over ice cream: Prepare to embark on a heavenly experience as flavors intertwine! Classic vanilla, chocolate, cherry, almond, and salted caramel are great flavor choices!
- Foie Gras: If you enjoy indulgent pairings, consider serving our Cerise with foie gras. The richness and creamy texture of foie gras complement the sweetness of our wine.
Serving Suggestions
Best served slightly chilled. Cheers!
