Sweet Dreams White Port

Sweet Dreams White Port Wine Details
Price:

Description: Sweet Dreams is made from our estate grown Blanc du Bois grapes. This is our most exquisite wine that brings out all the natural tropical fruit flavors of Blanc du Bois draped in rich velvety layers of natural sweetness. Sweet Dreams is always produced in very small quantities and we have already sold out of our first bottling.

Varietal Definition
Blanc du Bois:
Developed at the University of Florida for use in that state, this white wine-producing grape with a flavor similar to Muscat has had medal-winning success for somewhat Riesling-like varietal still wine and blends of sparkling wine. Developed by John Mortenson of the Leesburg Research Station, it is the result of a cross between a Florida-developed hybrid (thought by some to be a V. aestivalis complex derivative) and the Cardinal table grape. Fertile, productive and hearty, it ripens in early July in Florida. A coldy hardy varietal,it is also resistant to Pierce's disease, but appears particularly vulnerable to Anthracnose and Black Rot.
