Rich and alluring wine pleasure unfolds with a nose of apple flesh and fig preserves, highlighted by the brightness of lemon and meringue. The tasting is marked by a light stability of apricot and cream, with a elegant sweetness that gives way to toasted coconut and tropical fruits. A fulfilling finale is left with a lingering note of lemon and minerals, rounded out by the warmth of apple dumpling dusted with nutmeg.
