Sweet Wine: Luscious Moscato, Dessert Wines, Sweet Reds, Whites & Rosés

There is something irresistible about a glass of sweet wine. Whether it is a lightly fizzy Moscato on a sunny afternoon, a luscious dessert wine after dinner, or a rich Tawny by the fire, sweet wines bring pure, uncomplicated pleasure. If you have a sweet tooth, this is your collection.

What Is Sweet Wine?

Sweet wine simply means a wine with noticeable sugar left in the glass, which winemakers call residual sugar. During fermentation, yeast converts grape sugar into alcohol, but in sweet wines some of that natural sugar is deliberately kept, giving the wine its honeyed, fruity character.

Winemakers achieve this in a few different ways: harvesting grapes late so they ripen to intense sweetness, stopping fermentation early to preserve sugar, or fortifying the wine with spirit. The result ranges from gently sweet, easy-drinking styles right through to thick, syrupy dessert wines. If you prefer a touch less sugar, our off dry wines sit a step back on the sweetness scale.
