Vin Doux Naturel is a type of fortified sweet wine produced primarily in France. It is made from grapes that are naturally high in sugar, and the fermentation process is stopped by adding grape brandy, which preserves the sweetness. This method results in a rich, flavorful wine that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with desserts.
These wines are often made from specific grape varieties, such as Muscat or Grenache, and are typically labeled with their region of origin, like Roussillon or Banyuls. Vin Doux Naturel can be served chilled or at room temperature, making it a versatile choice for various occasions.
