Frost Watch Red – This cranberry raisin wine is semi-sweet with a crisp finish. It starts out in the mouth as somewhat sweet but has a tart aftertaste that reminds one of how cranberries taste with your holiday meal. The "Frost Watch" is the time frame in the spring and fall when the cranberry growers make sure the vines and fruit do not freeze due to weather changes. When the temperatures drop toward freezing, the irrigation pumps are triggered to spray water on the bog to prevent freezing. This enables the cranberries to stay on the vine as long as possible to develop the highest sugar level (brix). Serve room temperature or chilled. Good as a stand alone wine, with chicken or fish, with Chinese food, or served with holiday meals to toast with your friends and loved ones.
Sweet Paradise – This cranberry raisin wine is sweet and smooth. If you know you love a sweet wine, this one's for you. DnA Vintners main source of cranberries has been Paradise Valley Cranberries, owned by Craig and Kathy Jensen of Warrens, Wisconsin thus deriving the name for this wine. Serve room temperature or chilled. A unique approach to this wine is to heat it briefly, thus bringing out the aromatics of the fruit and creating a "gluvine" or "hot toddy". Pour into a mug, heat for 30 seconds in the microwave (do not simmer or boil), add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a cinnamon stick. A great take along wine for outdoor activities or use to soothe a sore throat or stuffed up head.
Chocolate Paradise - This cranberry raisin wine is infused with natural chocolate flavoring. Enjoy the heady aroma of chocolate from the time the cork is pulled and throughout your sipping enjoyment. It is described as "dessert in a glass". You first notice the chocolate flavor and then the sweet/tart cranberry taste comes through. You may want to share it with family and friends as your dessert OR you may want to keep it all for yourself!
