Beatifully complex. Very high acidity balancing the sugar. Apricot, dry fruits, orange marmalade, honey and a hint of smokeyness !

A surprisingly good late harvest Chenin Blanc from South Africa. Impressive. Apricot, toffee, honey. Beautiful balance. Not unctuous. Rich texture and depth set off by just the right acidity. Nice stuff.

Nutty nutty nutty nose, floral too. The nutty flavor smacks your mother, and the reminds you of toasted almonds. Very very nice.

Sweet as a desert wine should be; great when armonized with a Tiramissu!
