Roughshod

Retail: $15.00

Variety: 85% Wild Maine Blueberry, 15% 151 proof Oregon Brandy

Never tried Roughshod? It's made from Native Maine Blueberries fortified with Brandy. It's delicious by itself as a sipping wine that will warm you to your toes, or try it in a Roughshod cocktail. For Summer, lighten Roughshod with Vidal Blanc or Sparkling Blueberry for a refreshing wine cocktail.

Description: This is Blacksmiths' original fortified blueberry wine, delicious as an aperitif and hearty enough to use in a unique Roughshod cocktail. The wine is made in a similar manner as our classic blueberry wine, but the fermentation is halted by addition of brandy to preserve the appropriate level of sugar. This provides the balance of alcohol and sugar which is important in producing an enjoyable desert wine.
