Chaucer's Blackberry Wine is made from 100% pure, fresh, blackberry varieties. We make the wine straight from the berries; we do not make it from blackberry juice that was made by someone else. We take fresh berries and ferment them to dry. Right before bottling we add fresh juice back in, to help with the sweetness and the fresh blackberry aroma. Dark, rich, berry aromas leap from the glass while the flavors remind me of my Grandmother's blackberry pie, if it was to be served in liquid form. This wine is always a pleasure to be enjoyed with friends and family. Although this wine exhibits richness similar to a fine liqueur, this speciality, dessert-style beverage is not fortified and contains only 10.5% alcohol. Hence, this wine should be consumed shortly after purchase to enjoy its natural and rich fruit flavor. Also, it is recommended to refrigerate this delicate product after opening and to serve it chilled.
