This dessert wine is crafted in the style of a port, meaning simply that the flavors are concentrated,
and the wine is fortified to 18% alcohol and aged for years. So it is for sipping, as a digestif.
Ehrlich Brothers Elderberry Dessert Wine is aged in barrels at least nine years.
Yes, we have been working on this for a while!
The concentrated flavor elements combined with the higher alcohol content result, over all that time,
in the formation of sediment in the bottle.
So, in the style of port-drinking, we decant the wine into a decanter. Or we pour through a wine filter into each glass. Or we ignore the sediment and go for full authenticity.
This wine is unlike a port because of course there are never any grapes involved.
It is 100% of elderberry origin.
It is also unlike a port because we are not in Portugal!
We are in Argyle and Hebron townships, in central Washington County, New York.
The berries are grown, and the wine made, on our farm.
