Wine Description:
Riveyrac Rivesaltes is a Vin Doux Naturel produced by the renowned winery Riveyrac in the Rivesaltes appellation of the Languedoc-Roussillon region in France. The vineyards are located on the Mediterranean coast, benefiting from the warm climate and the cooling sea breeze. The wine is made using the traditional winemaking method of mutage, where the fermentation is stopped by adding grape spirit, resulting in a sweet and fortified wine. Riveyrac Rivesaltes boasts a rich and complex flavor profile, with notes of dried fruits, caramel, and honey, balanced by a refreshing acidity. It is a perfect dessert wine or aperitif, and a true representation of the unique terroir of the region. Most wines are bottled many years after production, making it a great opportunity to taste high quality matured fortified wines at an affordable price.
