Beautifully fragrant grapey flavours fill the glass overlayed with honeysuckle notes; unctious and full sweet luscious muscat and sultana flavours; sweetness well balanced with livelyacidity for a harmonious finish; delicious fortified dessert wine to enjoy chilled with apple and almond tart or fresh fruit platter.
