A delicate wine on the bouquet but one that dances across the palate. Luscious fresh stone fruit & pear intertwine with oak to great success. The wine is lifted by a lick of acidity. Pleasing & complex, with a dry finish.
Sweet wines of this style are not only suited to traditional desserts; served as an aperitif it will drink well with savoury dishes & tapas such as green olives stuffed with white anchovies, Manchego with quince paste or try with salt cod fritters.
Inspired by the rare & luscious vin de paille of France's Rhone Valley, made from 100% Marsanne grapes.
In both France & Italy a traditional method of obtaining concentrated sugars & flavours is to lay harvested grapes on straw mats where they are left in the sun to dehydrate.
Enjoy with: The freshness of this sweet wine loves fruit based desserts, think of the Australian icon
- Peach Melba
- for inspiration. Alternately, it will serve equally well as an aperitif
- saltiness is its perfect counter point -try Manchego with quince paste, green olives, fried whitebait or salt cod fritters.
