Pale gold hue. Pronounced aromas of cream, dried fruit, honey, melon, nectarine, orange, toast, and wax. Full body; medium-plus sweetness; and high acidity. Flavors of citrus, dried fruit, and honey on the palate, with a long, layered, elegant finish. Balanced, complex, and flavorful. Blend of 70% Semillon, 15% Muscadelle, and 15% Sauvignon Blanc. Dangerously drinkable at 12% ABV as well. Solid alternative to Sauternes.

Typical tinned fruit cocktail, honey, and gingery spice sorts of aromas. On the palate it's sweet, fairly straightforward and primary, with some balancing acidity but in need of more, and coming across as a bit dilute. Offers some tasty enough fruit, a modicum of Botrytis, and that's about it. Still, enjoyable enough for the quite modest price (paid 18 NZD for 375ml).
