Wine Expert Note:

The Domaine Huet Clos du Bourg Vouvray Demi-Sec is a remarkable wine that showcases the potential of the Vouvray region in France. This demi-sec (semi-sweet) wine offers a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity, creating a delightful drinking experience. On the nose, this wine displays enticing aromas of ripe golden apple, pear, honey, and floral notes. These aromatics are complemented by hints of citrus and mineral undertones, adding complexity to the bouquet. The palate is impressive, with a luscious mouthfeel and a harmonious blend of flavors. The sweetness of the wine is beautifully balanced by vibrant acidity, creating a refreshing and well-rounded taste. The Clos du Bourg Vouvrayhas a long and mineral-driven finish, leaving a lingering impression of its exquisite flavors. This wine is best after extended cellaring of up to 40 years, to allow it to develop quince paste like complexity. Serve with spicy asian inspired cuisine.

Waterford Heatherleigh is a nuanced dessert wine made from Muscat grapes like "Hanepoot" and other common varietals. These grapes are naturally raisined on the vine by pinching the stems, avoiding the influence of Botrytis for a subtler flavor profile. It boasts lovely scents of apricots and Muscat characteristics. After a back blending process using the Solera system, the wine gains depth, aged ripeness, and youthful vibrancy. With low alcohol and sugar content, it pairs well with vanilla ice cream or an unconventional choice like rock salt and a drizzle of green olive oil. Best served chilled.
