The grapes are pressed in Spain with the juice being shipped over to England and fortified with grape spirit. The Grape spirit and juice are then blended with premium dark chocolate to create the smooth silky red wine liqueur that is Rubis.

It is made by flavouring fortified Tempranillo wine with chocolate essence. The red wine base is made from 100% Tempranillo grapes sourced from the wine growing region of La Mancha in central Spain. The wine is made in the usual way: grapes are harvested, pressed and fermented and then the wine is “fortified” with a neutral alcohol spirit (a very basic grape brandy). This addition of alcohol stops fermentation whilst there is still a high sugar content leaving a natural sweetness in the wine. The fortified red wine is finally blended with chocolate essences and the producers of Rubis seem to have got the recipe just right!Music to my ears. Chocolate and wine together. Surely heaven in a glass. I was eager to taste some. Rubis is an indulgent blend of fortified tempranillo wine and premium chocolate flavour.
