      2023 Cru Specialty Dessert Wines

      2023 RJS Cru Specialty Dessert Wines

      These popular seasonal dessert wines are highly sought-after and are only available to order from BSG once per year via our annual preorder program.

      Guaranteed to be a hit with your customers, this range of kits features perennial favorites such as the Black Forest Dessert Wine which was named the #1 Wine Kit of 2019 according to WineMaker magazine, or the delicious Raspberry Mocha Dessert Wine which has won a gold medal in the WineMaker Competition for the last six years in a row.

      5 Key Changes to the preorder program in 2023

       

      1. Earlier launch timing

      Using feedback from our retail customers, and commercial wineries - we have moved the launch of these kits to earlier in the year. You can expect these kits to arrive to BSG in mid-July this year.

      The earlier launch does mean a slightly earlier preorder window, so please take note of the preorder deadline: February 16.

      2. All Cru Specialty kits will now be available as pre-order only

      Upon current inventory depletion (anticipated mid-April 2023), the SKUs below will no longer be available to purchase year-round. All Cru Specialty kits will now be available to preorder once a year as a part of our annual dessert wine preorder.

      Impacted SKUs:

      • NZZZ4706 - Cru Specialty Vidal Dessert Wine
      • NZZZ4701 - Cru Specialty Premium Dessert Wine

      3. Orchard Breezin' Cranapple Celebration will not be a preorder kit

      BSG will still offer Orchard Breezin' Cranapple Celebration as a limited-release kit in the Fall of 2023, but we will not be accepting preorders this year.

      Stay tuned for more information later this year, when this kit will be available on a first-come-first-served basis.

      4. Cru Specialty bottle labels are available to order from HJL Designs

      This year's Cru Specialty wine kits will not include printed labels. Instead, HJL Designs is offering a low-cost alternative for premium labels that have been designed by RJS for these kits.

      HJL labels for Cru Specialty kits will be available to purchase after the BSG preorder has concluded. 

      5. Updated Purchase Agreement Terms

      Customers placing a preorder should note our updated Purchase Agreement Terms. Our new fulfillment process for preorder kits is to notify you of their arrival to BSG warehouses, and automatically add them to your first Purchase Order with BSG after they are available to ship. Unclaimed kits will be automatically shipped & invoiced after 60 days.

      Back by Popular Demand: Orange Chocolate

      Back by popular demand - the RJS Cru Specialty Orange Chocolate dessert wine is one of the most requested flavors by retailers and consumers. 

      Pull up a seat by the fire and indulge in this intensely flavored dessert wine laced with rich dark chocolate aromas, tangy orange, and exquisite marmalade flavors.

      Splendid with nuts and cheese or flawless with a slice of decadent cheesecake, this is a heavenly after-dinner treat!
