A fortified by any name which combines flor-aged Savagnin and grape juice which is then fortified and aged in barrel. Expect a degree of sweetness and alcohol richness, but also one complex, exciting, individual taste. Golden in colour with an enchanting aromatic profile in notes of honeyed fig, baked pear, dried fruits, orange zest and fruitcake. Palate sings in harmony, bright, unctuous and clean with a sweetness that is countered nicely by acidity. The length will astound! Enjoy as an aperitif or with dessert.
