A unique dessert wine from England made predominantly from a relation to Muscat (Siegerrebe). A pleasant elderflower colour which follows on the nose and palate, with a floral aroma, with hints of candied pears, "parma violets" and other fruity, aromatic confectionery. The sweetness on the palate is nicely rounded out with acidity from Bacchus and Ortega grapes, but the flavours on the palate are similar. A very enjoyable summer wine ***1/2

LIght colour; sauvignon-ish nose (though no sauvignon in the blend) of dusty gooseberries; light intensity; pleasantly grapey; short finish. A pleasant way to finish a picnic.

Summery grapfruit and grape (yes grape) palate, very little on the nose, a pleasingly off-dry (but not sweet) finish

very tasty, light for a dessert wine so goes down quickly.
