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.
Additional winemaker notes: I don't like sweet wines. But this one was pleasant and not overly sweet. It was mineraly, and tasted of sugared/candy oranges, as described above. I could see how this would go with Thai foods. I did not try with food.
