The wine displays a pale wheat color in the glass. On the nose you are greeted by ripe sweet peach, ripe pineapple and lychee aromas. On the palate the wine is off-dry to sweet with a syrupy consistency although you could describe it a medium to full-bodied. The level of acidity is low which might explain the wine’s syrupy texture. The flavors seem to be sweet toffee, along with peach and pineapple lifesaver’s candy. On the finish it is the candy-like sweetness that lingers. Serve chilled between 45F to 50F.
Food & Wine: This causes me a brief pause because my first reaction is "desserts" (fruit pies, fruit cakes). This wine might work well with Brie, Camembert or a cheese with some sweetness such as Swiss. Hot and spicy cuisine or even Barbeque Ribs with a sweet sauce.
Approximate Retail Price: US$14.00
