Ashton Kelder Bonica - Vin Doux 2007

This Vin Doux (sweet) blush wine is made from Red Muscadel grapes. This ensures a festive Muscat character with hints of cherries and oranges. The full and round wine has hints of raisins and will leave you wanting more.

Serve well chilled for a champagne breakfast or with a tropical fruit salad in lemongrass syrup with passionfruit ice cream.
