Tasting
Very expressive sweet wine with great concentration of flavours and wonderful balancing acidity.
At nose
Candied fruit, sweet spices, mango and pineapple.
On the palate
Excellent balance and long complex finish.
Food pairings
Drink as an aperitif, accompanied by cheeses like parmesan or aged gruyere.
More traditionally, it pairs very well with foie gras.
At the end of a meal it is perfect with fruit-based desserts like nectarine, peach, apricot, mango or even passion fruit, for example mango ice-cream, baked pineapple or apricot tart.
