Certainly one of the most intriguing and delicious sweet wines of France is Stéphane Tissot's "Spirale," which is composed of 60% savagnin and 40% poulsard. The Spirale is a classic example of a "vin de paille" from the Jura region of France, whereby harvested grapes are placed on straw mats for over five months. During this time, the grapes begin to dry and sugars become more concentrated. (think raisins!) Because of the unusually high degree of sugar present, the wine reaches its equilibrium and stops fermenting around 8% alcohol. This wine drinks like a golden peach nectar with hints of fresh hay and passionfruit. Now you might ask, what dessert would you pair with the Spirale? Folks, this is dessert.
