About this deal
Cacao was not easy to source near Court as it grew in the south amongst the Mayan lowlands and because of this, the drink was usually served to people of high society standing such as Nobles or Warriors and presented at the end of Banquets. The nose is a combination of red fruit notes, particularly red cherries, orange / citrus and, of course, lots of warming chocolate aromas. Would recommend this wine to anyone who appreciates a good dessert wine, especially chocolate lovers!
The company’s Instagram has some great suggestions, such as a Chocolate Negroni, a Chocolate Toffee Espresso Martini, or the dreamy Mon Cherie.From rich chocolate fondants to fruit filled tarts, R ubis pairs extremely well with them; and simply pour over vanilla ice cream to create a delicious dessert. Elsewhere, we found The Chocolate Block red wine at Waitrose, which is a red wine with "chocolatey notes".

It uses the best tempranillo grapes from the centre of Spain and velvety premium dark chocolate to give Rubis its bold fruity and chocolatey flavours. The Aztecs used a process of separating cacao beans from the pod which involved cracking the pod open and allowing the flesh to ferment into a drink. Darkly decadent SPANISH TEMPRANILLO GRAPES AND PRECIOUS ESSENCE OF CACAO COME TOGETHER TO CREATE A taste experience TO SURPRISE AND DELIGHT THE SENSES. As cacao was so precious it was also used as a currency so was not immune to forgery attempts using avocado stones and wax. This addition of alcohol stops fermentation whilst there is still a high sugar content leaving a natural sweetness in the wine.
IF you've got a sweet tooth and like unusual pairings you might want try Morrisons' new chocolate flavoured wine.
