Description
This wine opens with aromas of ripe orchard fruits. Pear and apple with a hint of ginger spice. These carry through to the palate which is medium bodied, off-dry and full of concentration. There is a floral hint that gives lift to the intensity, and the lingering finish.
Serve this wine with full flavoured fish such as grilled salmon or lightly spicy Asian dishes such as 5-spiced pork belly. Also serves brilliantly with platters and ripe, soft cheeses such as St Agur, or fruit desserts such as marsala-poached pears with vanilla crème.
