2020 Maple Storm

Friday, November 13, 2020

Port-like dessert wine. It can’t be called port because it’s not from Portuguese grapes, but it is port-like in style and sweetness. A delicious blend of our maple wine and our Knotted Maple 80-proof spirit, with notes of caramel and nuts. Maple Storm is perfect for sipping after dinner in front of a fire or out on the deck under the moon. Makes the end of any day special.

Macadamia Nut Honey Wine

Wednesday, September 12, 2012

The sweet delights of the Hawaiian Islands can be found in our own award-winning Macadamia Nut Honey Wine. This wine is a lighter twist on sweetness, made from luxurious honey taken from the blossoms of our island’s macadamia nut trees, and transformed into an after dinner treat that is sure to drench the senses in the sweetness of honey.

It offers a sweet honey taste with a subtle nutty finish. This unique creation can be served well-chilled with your favorite dessert, or slightly warmed for those cooler evenings.

Cerise Cherry Port

Sunday, September 25, 2011

Made in the traditional port-wine method, winemaker Mark Johnson added yeast to fresh cherry juice and fermented to 8.5%, then stopped fermentation by the addition of Chateau Chantal’s own cherry eau de vie (which is too high in alcohol to direct ship, unfortunately) bringing the alcohol content to 19.2%.

Tastes like a fine, powerful port with supremely rich cherry, tobacco and wood smoke complexity. Snifter-ready for a cold, dark night or pair with chocolate for the perfect dinner party nightcap. Truly superb, with the medals to back up the statement.
