Fruit Wines
These versatile wines are sweet and rich with intense fruit flavours and can be drunk as wines, aperitifs, or after-dinner drinks. They are great as mixers such as sparkling wine and lemonade, drunk with cheeses or poured over desserts. Also adds a wonderful flavour to sauces and gravies.
MEAD
Sweet - 11.5% vol - 50cl |
This sweet wine made from honey has been popular in England since Medieval
times. We follow the age old tradition of fermenting grape and apple juices
with honey, using modern fermentation techniques to produce this
invigorating beverage. Said to be an Aphrodisiac. A good hot-toddy when
mixed with whisky or makes a mouth-watering dessert when added to thick
natural yoghurt. A honeymoon or wedding wine.
|
APRICOT WINE
Sweet - 11.5% vol - 50cl |
Delicious served with cheese such as deep-fried Somerset Brie, or can be
poured over strawberries or fresh fruit salad. Marvellous added to brandy.
|
BLACKCURRANT WINE
Sweet - 11.5% vol - 50cl |
Add a dessertspoon to a glass of white wine to make a Kir. Instead of
sherry, use blackcurrant wine in a trifle and add to summer pudding. A dash
will enhance a beef casserole and ensure a delicious gravy with beef. To
keep fresh raspberries for more than a day, mull them in red or blackcurrant
wine. Fantastic with Stilton.
|
REDCURRANT WINE
Sweet - 11.5% vol - 50cl |
Add to gravy when serving lamb or pour over strawberries for a real treat. Mix with Sparkling wine and Campari for a delicious Kir Royale.
|
ELDERBERRY WINE
Sweet - 11.5% vol - 50cl |
A delicious alternative to Port. Wonderful served as an aperitif. Warm Elderberry wine is also a remedy for sore throats and colds. |
CHERRY WINE
Sweet - 11.5% vol - 50cl |
Delicious on its own or mixed with brandy. Excellent in fruit salads and
trifles or add to gravy when serving duck.
|
STRAWBERRY WINE
Sweet - 11.5% vol - 50cl |
Delicious poured over ice cream or fruit salad. Equal measures of strawberry
wine and rum make a gorgeous cocktail.
|
GINGER WINE
Sweet - 11.5% vol - 50cl |
Warming and stomach settling. Why not mix with whisky to make a Whisky Mac,
or Brandy to make a Horse's Neck? Good with pears and rhubarb or poured over
ice cream. Very much used in stir fries to give that oriental flavour.
