Classic Port: In the Portuguese tradition, this wine is made from a blend of several grape varieties, including grapes indigenous to Southwest Europe. Intense fruit character and depth of flavour at bottling. Like all ports, however, you'll be rewarded if you can set some bottles aside for a year or two. The kit produces up to 17.5% alcohol. Brandy may be added to elevate the alcohol even further and add to the true Port taste.
Porto Corinto: Exclusive to Cellar Craft. Classic ruby port infused with flavourful black currant. Intense, rich and savory! 16% alcohol. Enjoy after 2-3 weeks ageing. Best after a year in the bottle.
Orange Muscat: Muscat dessert wine with natural orange essence. Exudes aromas of orange and spice. Flavours of honey, orange and lychee. Intense. Enjoy in its youth. Serve chilled.
Washinton State Riesling Ice Wine: Made with Washington State Johannisberg Riesling. Complex, rich and intense. Prominent peach, apricot and honey notes. Long, lingering finish. Like all excellent ice wines, this example may be enjoyed young or aged for extra roundness and depth.
Washington State Gewurztraminer Ice Wine: Gewurztraminer grapes from Wahington's Yakima Valley burst with spice, exotic lychee aromas and richly intense flavours. A rare sensory experience.
Classic Cream Sherry: The rich concentration of flavour is reminiscent of an ice wine but with specific twists. Firstly, it is golden hued with oak contact and exposure to elevated temperatures. Secondly, the subtle tropical fruit notes give way to rich, dark tones found only in a fine Sherry. The complex aroma is enveloping. Subtle citrus fragrance precedes notes of coffee, caramel, tobacco and cocoa. The velvety flavour suggests dried fruit, vanilla and almonds. There is a balance of sweetness. richness and maturity. The finish provides a lingering farewell as the concentrated flavours of dates and figs slowly dissolve on the palate. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.
