Dessert Wine

Dessert wine is a category of wine known for its sweetness, typically enjoyed at the end of a meal alongside—or in place of—dessert. What sets dessert wines apart is their high residual sugar, which can come from late-harvested grapes, noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), freezing (ice wine), or fortification with spirits to halt fermentation and preserve natural sugars.

Expect notes of honey, apricot, fig, caramel, tropical fruit, and sometimes spice or nuttiness, depending on the style. These wines are typically served in small glasses and sipped slowly, much like a fine Scotch. Whether you're pairing with fruit tarts, chocolate, cheese, or simply enjoying a glass on its own, dessert wine adds a luxurious touch to any meal.
