Earthy, bold, and rich. Notes of cherry and chocolate combine for a balanced, seductive wine alternative. Toasted fennel seeds provide the hint of chocolate, while cherry contributes a beautiful nose —a little sweet, a little woody, with a hint of almond. But when Berry Fennel hits the tip of the tongue, the bite of the verjus surprises, balancing the sweet cherry notes and infusing complexity. It's amazing how different toasted fennel tastes from raw fennel seed. The toasting process triggers the Maillard reaction, transforming sugars and proteins into new compounds (the same happens when browning meat, toast, or nuts). In the case of fennel, nutty flavors transform into notes of dark chocolate.
