About Renoster Port Wine

Renoster is a fortified, port-style wine crafted to deliver richness, complexity, and a lingering finish. On the nose, it’s deep and lush, with aromas of dark raisins, roasted coffee, and prune, while the palate offers hazelnut and cocoa nib notes that slowly unfold.

It’s the ultimate winter wine, ideal for sipping slowly, pairing with desserts, or creating warm, indulgent drinks — like Blake’s Port Cocoa.

Why it works so well in cocoa:

• The wine’s sweet, full-bodied profile balances the bitterness of dark chocolate.

• Prune, raisin, and nutty notes layer beautifully with cocoa, sugar, and milk.

Its long, complex finish elevates a simple cup of hot chocolate into something luxurious and celebratory.
