Sugars and alcohol enhance a wine’s sweetness, which is determined by the interaction of several factors, including the amount of sugar in the wine, but also the relative levels of alcohol, acids, and tannins.  Some may perceive the fruitiness of a wine as sweet. The production of sweet wines began with the very first wines. The Romans would wait until the grapes were over-ripe to pick so that the wine would be sweeter. There are many levels of sweetness and dry. Whatever you preference there are several wines available within the walls of these fine wineries to taste.
