2016 Steamboat Dessert Wine
Our 100% Georgia port is made partly from the traditional portuguese grape, Touriga Nacional, and a North American Hybrid, Lenoir (aka. Black Spanish). Touriga Nacional brings to the table good tannin structure with black fruit, while the Lenoir adds a spicy complex. Barrel aged for 18 months (we couldn't wait the 20 years which Bob's favourite Taylor 20 port is aged) in 80% Hungarian, and 20% french oak. Pairs well with cheese, dark chocolate desserts, nuts, cigars, and we fortified our Port using distilled spirits from Old Fourth Ward Distillery, Atlanta.
Tasting notes

Our 100% Georgia Port is made from Lenoir grapes and the traditional Portuguese grape, Touriga Nacional. Fruit-filled notes of sweet black cherry and vanilla spice balance with a strong tannic structure. Rich with ripe fruit, this is a perfect after dinner drink to sip with cheese, desserts, nuts, and cigars.
