Mistelles

Mistelle is a unique and delightful type of fortified wine that holds a special place in the world of spirits. At Spirits of France, we are proud to showcase Mistelle as a testament to the diversity and richness of the wine culture.

Mistelle is created by combining unfermented grape juice with a high-proof spirit, typically brandy. This process halts the fermentation of the grapes, allowing Mistelle to retain its natural sweetness and the distinct flavours of the grape varietal used. The result is a smooth, rich beverage that strikes a perfect balance between the fresh, fruity characteristics of the grape juice and the depth and complexity imparted by the spirit.

This method of fortification gives Mistelle a unique profile that differs from other fortified wines like Port or Sherry. It is generally lighter, with a more pronounced fruitiness, making it an excellent aperitif or a delightful accompaniment to desserts. Mistelle can also serve as a versatile ingredient in cocktails, adding a touch of sweetness and complexity.

The production of Mistelle is a careful art, requiring skill and precision to achieve the right balance of sweetness and alcohol. This process reflects a deep respect for tradition and a commitment to quality that is evident in every sip.
