A distinctive sweet wine made by drying the grapes on straw mats before pressing to concentrate the sugars and flavour. Lots of dried fruits- raisin and prune- as well as a twist of orange peel. Rich and nutty on the palate, with a long and nicely balanced finish. Sip and savour after a meal or try with sweet biscuits or ice-cream.
