Description
(Red Ruby Port-Style Wine)
This deliciously satisfying ruby port-style wine is a blend of three of our dry red wines, fortified with grape spirits to just the right level to balance flavor and alcohol (19.6% abv) and aged on heavily toasted Pennsylvania Oak to contribute to a dark chocolate/mocha finish. A nice after dinner cordial, it is also excellently enjoyed when paired with either holiday chocolates or with a freshly baked brownie & chocolate-fudge icing. 500 ml bottle.
Pontiac, (born c. 1720, on the Maumee River [now in Ohio, U.S.]—died April 20, 1769, near the Mississippi River [at present-day Cahokia, Ill.]), Ottawa Indian chief who became a great intertribal leader when he organized a combined resistance—known as Pontiac’s War (1763–64)—to British power in the Great Lakes area.
The winery donates a dollar from the sale of each bottle of this wine to the Bushy Run Battlefield Heritage Society. Bushy Run Battlefield preserves and interprets for citizens and visitors the site of this pivotal battle fought between British and Native Americans during the conflict known as Pontiac’s War (1763-64). The battlefield is located in our hometown of Harrison City, PA.
