This is a very toast-driven wine, with aromas of freshly baked pastry, red apple, and lemon curd. The palate has a lovely creaminess with notes of lemon curd and apricot leading into a long, powerful finish.

This is a wine for a special celebration – birthday, anniversary, promotion – or maybe a January bubbles-themed dinner party to break up the winter doldrums. Whatever you do, be sure to add cheese!
