Ashton Kelder Special Late Harvest 2009

This sweet, thick wine has a strong concentrated bouquet of citrus blossoms and apricots, balanced by intense dried orange peel and raisins on the palate. An aftertaste that reminds of brandy snaps.

This wine will complement the creaminess of a dessert such as crème brûlée.
