Sauternes and ice wines are good examples of dessert wines, ice wine is when the grape has been allowed to freeze on the vine, resulting in a sweeter wine. Also popular are ports and Madeiras.
I have found a website which is quite informative, thefiftybest.com, (link below) which I will quote from;
" There are sweet wines that are served with (or instead of) dessert. They include fortified wines like port, sherry and Madeira (18-22% rather than 35-40% for spirits), and late harvest wines (German Beerenauslesen & Trockenbeerenauslesen) which are made from grapes that have shriveled a bit, concentrating their sweetness. There is also Sauternes, Tokaji, Ice Wine and Commandaria. As a rule of thumb, a dessert wine should always be sweeter than the dessert it accompanies. Port is a traditional after-dinner wine that comes either bottle-aged such as Vintage Port, Late Bottled Vintage or Ruby or as a wood-aged port marked Tawny or aged Tawny. Madeira is one of the most neglected of the world’s great wines and one of the longest lasting. Rainwater and Bual are medium sweet while the designation Malmsey means the wine is quite sweet. Sherry comes in styles that are bone dry, medium dry and sweet. Try one marked Oloroso rather than the familiar cream sherry. Dessert wines are made from vine-ripened grapes. That is why the dessert wine business is so risky and the wines are so expensive. The grapes can bruise very easily. The longer the grapes remain on the vine, the greater the risk."
This gives you an idea of the many kinds available, it will be trial and error finding ones that you prefer.
I have not tried your Raspberry Motiff, but after reading about it, it sounds like a sparkling rose wine, so if you were to try Lambrusco Rose, you might enjoy it as it sounds to be similar, or any other rose sparkling wines.
