Wine Description:
Philippe Foreau Vouvray Demi-Sec is a highly regarded wine from the Vouvray appellation in the Loire Valley, France. Crafted by a renowned winemaker, this wine showcases the unique characteristics of the region's vineyards.

The resulting wine is a delightful balance of sweetness and acidity, with notes of ripe orchard fruits, honey, and a touch of floral aromatics.

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.
