With more than 130 wineries, you can find a variety of wines in tasting rooms, including port-style wines.
Port-style wines, also known as dessert wines in the Show-Me State, are typically medium to full-bodied red wines. These wines are produced from red grapes and fortified with brandy. The addition of brandy ends the fermentation process early and results in a higher alcohol content because the natural sugar from the grape juice is preserved and remains in the wine.
The next time you’re in Missouri wine country, try a delicious port-style wine at one of these wineries. (This list was compiled based upon winery submissions and may only list a portion of the Missouri wineries that offer port-style wine.)
