Drinking Window: 2019 - 2023
This sweet wine is complex, unique and great value! Moscatel grapes are dried in the sun for 15 days, and fermentation is stopped early to leave some residual sugar (about 300g/l). Oxidative ageing in oak gives warm cigar and spice notes to the honeyed, mocha and nutty fruitcake flavours. Perfect with a cheese board or chocolate desserts.
