About the wine
Tasting notes
With 20 grams residual sugar, it's medium-dry in sweetness with plenty of acidity and character to burn. It doesn't rely heavily on sugar to fly. Apricot, peach skin and quince are joined by a herbal intensity that builds throughout the middle palate. Intense and mouthfilling, just not your usual sweetie.
