Super Slim Pomegranate

If you’re familiar with any of the Rimon Wine varieties that first came out in 2006 — ie., rosé, dry wine, port, or dessert wine — I’d like to hear which is the most exciting one to try.

I know that their dessert wine http://www.lasplash.com/publish/cat_index_Food_and_Wine/Rimon_Winery_Dessert_Wine_Review.php was a gold medal winner in fruit wine categories, http://www.rimonwines.com/rimon/page/news_reviews.jsp
but I generally prefer rosè & dry wines. Thanks for any relevant input.
“The process of making pomegranate wine is similar to that of most grape wines.
The winery gathers the fruit’s juices into large steel tanks to ferment for about a month, and then ages them in the same types of French oak barrels used by most wine producers before the product is bottled and sold. The only point where the pomegranates need special treatment is at the beginning of production, when a specially-designed machine opens the fruits and scoops out its edible seeds, crushing them for their juice.

‘Like with all wines, the fermentation process is totally natural’ . . . .” http://www.jewishjournal.com/food/article/a_dessert_wine_with_a_healthy_finish_20060922/
