Winery 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:

-89+ pts
-Great wine to top off this week's flight. The nose for this wine wasn't too strong-- I got hints of melon but nothing very defining. To the taste, this wine was exceptionally sweet with a very strong apple flavor (strong, but not overpowering by any means). I tried this wine on its own without food.
