dessert wine?

[Kcwhippet]

Quite a few winemakers are now making dessert wines from just about any grape variety. They're leaving the grapes on the vine as long as possible to get all the sugar and acid they can, so they can ferment to an acceptable alcohol level and still have plenty of residual sugar left. I've seen dessert wines made from late harvested Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Riesling (of course), Chenin Blanc, Muscat, Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and a few others. So, dessert wines can be made from just about any grape and as long as there's nice fruit and a good sugar/acid balance you should get a good dessert wine.
