10.5% alcohol, in a 500ml bottle. The label calls it sweet, but it's only slightly so. It's also slightly sparkly, but I liked it better when it lost its fizz. The actual material of the wine is surprisingly mineral, with an intense flinty/gunpowder type thing augmenting the fruit, which is pale and on the melon/honeydew side of the spectrum - a profile somewhat incongruous with its sweetness, so the overall impression is of a wine with great material but with the equalizer dials all jumbled up.
