Tasting Notes: A subtle nose of tropical fruits continues through to the nuanced and moderately intense, semi-sweet palate where flavours of lemon drops, apricots and minerals are also present. Packaged and presented as a desert wine, however, this lovely sipping wine reminds one more of a Spätlese from the Rheingau of Germany and should be treated as such when pairing with food. It won't stand-up to really sweet deserts but will make for a great pairing for roasted ham and medium cheeses.
Well balanced with moderate sweetness offset by pineapple acidity. A long finish citrus notes and tang. Drink 2011-2015.
