A gorgeous, charming drink that demands your attention.
There's nothing shy about it, at 17+ % and with deep intensities of flavour. Its full-bodied, powerful, and opulent, yet nevertheless graceful and wonderfully poised. Sweet, honey fruit and spicy oak notes, with a delicious yeasty depth. Touch of heat on a long, pure finish.
A dessert wine with a delightful fruit-sugar balance.

What the hell is Macvin?
Grape juice from the Jura is boiled down till reduced by half, before being fortified with brandy to about 16% abv. The resulting concoction is then aged in oak casks for at least 6 years.
The resulting... thing, is rich and flavoursome with a dark amber colour and notes of dried fruit. Potentially very delicious and can be drunk for months after opening.
