Rich and sweet, but with bouncy acidity too, keeping all the dried apricot, mango, persimmon and ginger flavors harmonious through the exotic, alluring finish.

(for 375 ml.; 93% chenin blanc and 7% harslevelu) Full dark gold. High-toned aromas of peach, apricot, orange and marzipan. Chewy, supple and quite sweet, with the high-toned character carrying through in the mouth. But there's nothing thick or cloying about this wine's lovely fruit. Finishes spicy and gripping, with firm underlying structure. (A sample of similar quality that I tasted earlier at the winery had a much paler color and was less high-toned and more focused.)
