Winery Review: A rainy minerality on the nose of this sweet wine manages to cut through the sugared oranges, honeysuckle, and ripe, tropical white fleshed fruit, from peach to cherimoya. The palate is full of honeyed apples, white peach, and pineapple, but the decent acidity and chalky element stops it short of treacly.
My Review: The dessert wine is normally my favorite of the tastings (shocker), but this wine was far far too sweet. I could smell hints of sweet fruit and peach, but the sweetness over-powered the taste of any fruit for me. I've never found a wine to taste "sugary", but this wine tasted almost like there was some type of syrup in it. Perhaps it was the honeyed apples? Not a fan. I did not taste this wine with food.
