Chateau Chantal Cerise Cherry Port is a Michigan-made fortified cherry wine produced at Chateau Chantal on the Old Mission Peninsula near Traverse City. This port-style wine begins with tart cherry juice fermented to 8.5% ABV, then fortified with in-house distilled cherry brandy to reach 19% ABV, resulting in a naturally sweet dessert wine with 17% residual sugar from cherries.

The wine delivers an opulent flavor profile rich in black and red cherry character, balanced by a crisp tart acidity and a warm, lingering finish from the fortification. It has earned multiple gold medals in international competitions. The 500ml bottle is well-suited as an after-dinner sipper or as a gift.

Cerise pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, blue cheese, roasted nuts, and fruit-based desserts.
