Reviews and Ratings

Devon rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Dried apricot, pear, orange blossom, hazelnut, candied lemon and ginger. On the palate lovely honey notes appear as well. lovely acid cuts through the sweetness on the finish. Pair with a honey poached pear.
Courtney Flood rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Orange blossom, bitters, and honey. Great for cheesecake!
Cherie Cole rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Succulent aromas of dried apricot, wildflower honey, lychee, orange blossom and ripe peaches. The palate is delicate with medium acidity. This would pair well with upside-down peach cake or fruit salad. Tasted April 3, 2016.
Alex & Priya - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Priya: Lots on the go here as Alex would say! Smells like honey and lychee and jasmine flowers. Has a hint of pink to the colour which makes it even prettier. Quite rich and thick, and very sweet. I wouldn't dare pair this with a dessert for fear I'd go into a sugar coma but if it's chilled right, it would be a perfect after dinner drink all by itself. 88pts

Alex: So exotic, like strawberry jam, marmalade and apricot plucked, prepared and placed in a basket of dried rose petals. Not so sweet, just enough to make it a lovely match for a gently flavoured custard and sorbet combination. Or Priya's spiced apple cake. Sensual, affordable and very pretty after-dinner drop. 88pts
Philippe Perreault - Sommelier rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

Clear gold/gray color.

A nose of orange peel and quince.

On the palate, this wine is lively, balanced and long.

Pair it with foie gras or sorbet.

Serve it at 6-8 degrees.

Can be aged 8-10 years.
This French dessert wine is a Vin Doux Naturel (naturally sweet wine) and is a blend of 75% Muscat Blanc À Petits Grains and 25% Muscat Rose á Petit Grains grapes. Toffee and buttered bread notes. This wine won a Silver Medal at Decanter World Wine Awards in 2015. - Community Wine Reviews
