TASTING NOTE: Starbright yellow-gold in colour, this Icewine bursts from the glass with intense aromas of peach preserves, mango, marmalade and honey. Sweet, full bodied and mouthfilling, with a bright ribbon of acidity keeping things lively and adding some fresh peach and nectarine flavours. Balanced, tasty finish. This will pair beautifully with peach cobbler, peaches and cream or blue cheese, or try it drizzled over mango sorbet. (Vintages panel, July 2012) |
