Wine Raisins – A Delightful Treat

Deliciously wine-bathed raisins, subsequently enrobed in fine, noble dark chocolate made from Venezuelan cocoa.

The raisins are steeped in white wine for a certain period. This serves to impart a broader spectrum of flavors to the raisins. After steeping, the raisins are slowly dried again without excessive heat. However, only to the extent that they retain a certain residual moisture, providing a contrast to the crisp chocolate.

The raisins are coated layer by layer with a noble dark chocolate from Venezuela. During the dragéeing process, the result is continuously checked to ensure it meets the desired standard. At the end of the dragéeing process, they are dusted with cocoa powder. This also offers a counterpoint to the sweetness of the raisins.

For the production of raisins, grapes are harvested fully ripe and then dried in the sun or shade. Afterwards, the moisture content of the berries is only 15 – 18%, hence the fruit sugar concentration is around 33%. The term 'raisins' is commonly used for all dried grapes. However, there are various types. One well-known type is sultanas, which are obtained from Sultana grapes, which are white, thin-skinned, seedless, and sweet. After the drying process, they have a golden-yellow color. They are produced in Turkey, California, Australia, and South Africa. Another variety is currants (Zante currants). They are made from the Korinthiaki grape variety. This grape is black-brown to black-blue, seedless, and has a robust flavor. Production countries for these are Greece, Australia, South Africa, and California. Perhaps the best known are Zibeben, which are also referred to as raisins. They are dried berries that remain on the vine. In dry harvest years, they can be processed into a 'Trockenbeerenauslese' (a noble rot dessert wine). The term 'Zibeben' originates from southern Germany and parts of Austria. However, this term is increasingly disappearing and yielding to the High German term 'Rosine' (raisin).

Packaged in a gift set with a suitable wine or spirit, these wine raisins serve as an excellent souvenir or gift. They are a welcome present for Father's Day, Mother's Day, or Valentine's Day. But also packaged under the Christmas tree or in an Easter basket, these raisins are an exceptional idea.

If you want to treat yourself and live a vegan lifestyle, then this dark chocolate is perfect for you, or you can give it as a gift to like-minded individuals if you want something special.
