Liquorous Wines

Sweet wines have a history that goes back centuries. Since ancient times, producers discovered that grapes could be harvested late and that the resulting juice was sweeter and more aromatic than that of grapes harvested early. Sweet wines are therefore born from this practice of late harvesting, associated with particular winemaking. The regions best known for their sweet wines are the Rhine Valley in Germany, the Loire Valley in France, as well as the regions of Tokaj in Hungary and Sauternes in France. These wines are renowned for their richness in sugar and their aromatic intensity, offering a unique and unforgettable taste experience.

Sweet wines are sweet wonders produced from carefully selected grape varieties. Furmint is the main grape variety used to make Hungarian Tokaji. Sémillon is the grape variety most commonly used for Bordeaux wines such as Sauternes. Chenin Blanc is the grape variety of choice for Loire sweet wines, while Riesling is the star of German sweet wines. Other grape varieties such as Gewurztraminer, Muscat and Marsanne are also used to produce deliciously aromatic and sweet sweet wines.
