Got thrown off by the low expression of sweet versus acids. So as a dessert wine it does not fit my bill. Om the otherhand a nice wine with some orange zest, medium sweet.

Vintage 2016 | medium weight sweet, and that’s a category that is underestimated very easily. Good food wine. Elegance. Some muscat expression in smell.

Very pleasant indeed. Used most of the bottle in a chicken casserole (which was delicious) but had a small glass whilst cooking. Full of nectar, apricots, and nice clan acidity. Well balanced!

Smooth! Apricot and honey galore. The alcohol doesn't show as it does in many French dessert wines. It's more like a Riesling in that department. Could have a little more acidity for me. Easy drinking, definitely fun.
