Burnt, amber orange appearance. The nose is redolent with orange marmalade and notes of dried apricots, ripe mangoes, florals, and orange zest. It's on the lighter side of viscous, sporting a crunchy texture, agreeable acidity, adequate complexity, and a streak of minerality that crescendos from mid-palate through the orange zest finish. Sweet, but not cloying, the fruit masks the alcohol (15%) making it easy to finish a half-bottle. Had it on its own but this would be a perfect match for cheesecake.

great finish to a spicy meal. had with Chocolate covered candied orange. Sweet, viscous, honey, apricot. medium-long finish. not enough acid to stand clearly on its own.
It's a well made wine but be prepared for something super sweet with a heavy orange flavor. Not my cup of tea but can tell by the initial taste and medium-long finish that it was nicely made.

Love this wine with dessert. Apricot and citrus, with a hint of black tea and honey. Killer value.

Matched perfectly with peach-cream pie. Very fruit-forward and juicy. Not much acidity, but not overly sweet. Would buy again (at $11 for 375ml)

orange marmalade with hints of apricot; some floral notes; would have benefitted from more acidity to counteract the sweetness.

Similar to other orange muscats we have drank. Very sweet with honey, apricot, and peach flavours. Not much acid and a long finish. Buy again: Yes

This really taste like oranges. A little too sweet and a hint of alcohol but an interesting experience.
