The appellation is named after the small town of Rivesaltes, north of Perpignan, in the French region of Roussillon. The sweet vin doux naturel is produced from overripe grapes that have already dried on the vine. Made from 50% Muscat d'Alexandrie and 50% Muscat petit grain. In order to preserve the natural residual sugar of at least 100 g/l, the fermentation is stopped by adding ethyl alcohol and the wine is fortified to 15% alcohol by volume. There are lighter, fragrant versions with aromas of lemons and honey and stronger ones with a slightly bitter taste and orange aroma.
