| Orange-tinged light gold colour. Sweet, somewhat citric, fairly pungent, spy, honeyed, ripe lemon-pear nose with some butterscotch and zest of lemon. Very sweet, attractive, medium bodied, well structured, harmonious, still bright, ripe lemon-pear flavours with some butterscotch, brown sugar and caramel on the finish. Quite delicious and ready to sip. |

| Best in Show at the 2010 Florida International Wine Show. TASTING NOTE: Aromas suggest mango, apricot, marmalade, honeycomb, poached pear and lime cordial. Medium-sweet with terrific fruit flavours followed immediately by a brilliant ribbon of acidity to keep things very fresh. A superb dessert wine that is adaptable with dishes such as key lime pie and lemon custard; it also works nicely, chilled, as an after-meal sipper. (Vintages panel, March 2012) |
