An opulent, fruit driven nose full of ripe pear, stone fruit and lemon peel, alongside sweet spice, vanilla and a delicate smoky note. On the palate, there’s lots of tropical fruits, fresh citrus, white peach and a salty mineral note. The wine is beautifully elegant and the mouthfeel is generous and creamy, with toasty, buttery characters leading to a freshness on the long, lingering finish.
FOOD PAIRING
This wine works well with fish dishes, such as salt cod fritters to offset the mineral note, seafood chowder or a potato and preserved lemon tagine.
