Honeyed with silky feathers of stone fruit. Not at all heavy or cloying. Went great with La Tur cheese and yuzu marmalade.

Absolutely adore this wine it is such a great dessert wine complex and compelling mix of fruit and non-fruit aromas

Flint, tangerine peel, honeysuckle, apricots honeycomb and nimble acidity that nicely balances out the off-dry weight. Really tasty.
