Months ago it was announced that Après Dessert Wine & Icewine were transitioning to once-a-year seasonal offerings. That meant Winexpert stopped producing Dessert Wine and Riesling Icewine year-round and moved to offering a small seasonal selection of dessert and specialty wines in September each year. This shift in product availability mirrors the seasonal surge in demand for dessert style wines, and ensures Winexpert is always offering the best quality and freshest product.
In case you haven’t checked your calendar recently, September is here and Just Fine Wine is excited to announce this year’s Après lineup:
Cabernet Franc Icewine Style
Dessert Wine
Chocolate Raspberry Dessert Wine
It’s a been a while since Winexpert discontinued Cabernet Franc Icewine so it’s return is most welcome. Same goes for the delicious Après Dessert Wine. Always a crowd-pleaser, Après Chocolate Raspberry Dessert Wine comes back almost every year…and for good reason. Be sure to indulge your taste buds with these amazing specialty wines but don’t delay, these decadent delights are only available while quantities last.
All three styles are available at Just Fine Wine, perfect timing to have these delicious treats ready for the Holidays. Bottles of these limited offerings are perfect giveaways for friends, family, neighbours, and party hosts. They make for a classy gift to give to clients and customers.

Cabernet Franc Icewine Style
Sweet and rich in texture, with pink and salmon tones, this wine is inviting with its irresistible aromas and flavors of jammy raspberry, strawberry, and rhubarb. Spice accents to the palate are persistent to the elegant and velvety finish. Excellent with rich chocolate desserts like a decadent chocolate triple fudge cake.
Sweetness: Sweet Body: Medium-Full Oak: None Alcohol by Volume: 13%
Chocolate Raspberry Dessert Wine
Bursting with rich, intense flavours and aromas. The traditional dessert wine character of warm, rounded cherries and plums is supported by a racy zing of bright raspberry. Perfumed and gently tart, with a luscious liquid chocolate rush in the middle of the palate it finishes with beguiling dark, bittersweet aromas of coffee, vanilla, and toast, all the way to a long, rich finish. Excellent on its own or with any dessert, or serve with toasted nuts or shortbread. Superb within a few months, this wine will age gorgeously.
Sweetness: Sweet Body: Full Oak: Medium Alcohol by Volume: 17%
Dessert Wine
Made in the style of traditional Ruby Port which is rich and warm due to its higher strength.
