Lemon citrus, slight floral lift. Lemon spice, hard acid overrides RS, zingy finish. Food : makes the wine more moreish, adds to the flavour length.

A lighter type of sweet wine with aromas of ripe apple, honey and lemon and interestingly the dish seems to add richness to the wine.

Bright pale straw colour. Fine lemon-lime blossom and zest aromas, very clean and fresh. Light and lively palate; balanced sweetness and clean, mouth-watering acidity. Clean, slightly firm finish with appreciable alcohol warmth. With food: good combination, though alcohol is still evident.

Mid straw in colour, this wine shows lovely floral aromas with a lovely sweet cherry blossom palate. Great acidity and fruit balance ensure this wine does not finish too sweet. Balanced concentrated and fruit driven. A Great match as the dessert does not come across too sweet.

Light yellow. Zesty, lime tinged, sweet grapey, floral, lightly biscuit nose. Light, fresh lime-tinged sweet apple and honey mid-palate.Sweet fresh finish.

Excellent bright straw colour. The nose is effusive with with ripe apricot and stone fruit. The palate is more restrained and is very long and attractive. The strong primary fruit notes in the wine pair well with dessert
