Definitely best enjoyed as a sweet wine! Did I mention very sweet! Was originally trying to pair this with pork chops, thinking it was a dry chenin blanc, NOPE! Ended up pairing with the cheese course instead.

Quite sweet, but I’m enjoying it. Almost to Riesling sweetness territory, but there’s enough interesting petrol notes and acidity to balance it out. Golden Apple, tart pear, stone fruit. Fantastic with the Chicken Thigh + caramelized onion/cinnamon/cardamom basmati rice recipe from Ottolenghi and Tamimi’s Jerusalem cookbook.
