Sweet Organic Wine Names

There are some pretty strange names when it comes to sweet dessert wine names. Other people call these "sweet wines" or sweet dessert wines, port or sherry. Whether the dessert wine port is fortified with brandy spirit or naturally sweet wine, names other than sherry or port wine are being used in Australia as the name sherry wine or port wines are not allowed under new labelling rules.

What is a sweet organic wine?

Sweet organic wines have residual sugar. For our organic red and white wines, the fermentation process continues until all the grape sugar has been converted by the yeast to alcohol and no sugar remains. if there is sugar remaining, winemakers call this residual sugar. However, most commercial white wines have about 5 grammes of sugar added to their wines. A sweet organic wine may have grape juice added or the wine may be fortified with a neutral brandy spirit to retain the remaining sugar from the arrested fermentation.

What is Organic Topaque?

Topaque is a name derived from a bunch of Australian winemakers who needed to come up with a name replacement for a sweet white wine they called Tokay. Other wine names like sherry, Flor, Fino, port, chablis, champagne, and more have name replacements.

Sweet white wines proved more of a "sticky point", pardon the pun. Despite more than a decade's notice, dry sherry is now called Apera and sweet tokay is Topaque as producers came up with new names. However, pronouncing "toe pakee" is strange, so we have called one of our aged vintage luscious organic dessert sweet wines, "Grand Muscadelle" after the grape variety.

Where does port come from?

The name port comes from the town name Oporto from the Douro region of northern Portugal.

Port is a sweet, fortified, usually red wine, but maybe white wine of considerable renown.
