  • 87- Wine Enthusiast Review:  A rainy minerality on the nose of this sweet wine manages to cut through the sugared oranges, honeysuckle and ripe, tropical white fleshed fruit, from peach to cherimoya. The palate is full of honeyed apples, white peach and pineapple, but the decent acidity and chalky element stops it short of treacly.
  • My review: On the nose this wine is loaded with fruit aromas. There are smells of peaches, apricots and nectarines. There are also citrus notes and tropical fruit notes like mango. In addition, there is a slight floral aroma that makes the overall smell not too fruity. On the palate this wine has a slight carbonation and it is definitely fruity. The overall taste is smooth and these are a few citrus flavors of lemon and lime that try to balance the sweetness. However, this wine is packed with sugar and it is very sweet almost like a moscato making it a definite desert wine. 
  • Food Pairing: I had no food with this wine.
