The resulting wine is aged for a short period in oak barrels
Tasting Note:
Deep straw yellow coloured wine with pronounced orange blossom bouquet. Sweet and luscious with a fresh burst of acidity and a full mouth feel. Packed with ripe tropical fruits with a warm lingering finish - perfect for after dinner and deserts. A delightful wine to be savoured .
