Avondale Muscat Blanc 2004

Full-bodied and sweet with opulent honey, lemon rind and litchi flavours. These are complemented by a luscious cream honeyed mouth. The wine is bottled sunlight.

Serve as a “muscatini” at sundown. The wine is chilled and served with crushed ice in a martini glass. Garnish with an orange rind or a slice of lemon. Be smart!
