tasting notes
Attractive, crystal golden hue with intense flavour of litchi, lime and even some marzipan. Beautiful balance of flavour sweetness and body leave your tastebuds screaming for more. Finishes nice and clean, nothing sticky but the awesome flavour of Muscat.
 
ageing potential
Ageing will never be a problem, but finding the will and strength to resist is an altogether different story... well, a tough one!

food suggestions
Serve as a "muscatini" at sundown. The wine is chilled and served with crushed ice in a martini glass. Garnish with an orange rind or a slice of lemon. Be smart!
