Notes: Pure magic in a bottle, one of the real stand-out performers at the 2016 awards. Aroma’s of manuka honey, citrus fruits, mandarin and tropical fruits laced with floral nuances. The mouth is perfectly balanced with the honey like sweetness and tropical flavours balanced with the citrus like acidity to create a fantastically structured and brilliantly complex sweet wine.
The team at Urlar have pulled off a sophistication rarely achieved in a sweet or desert wine.
Absolutely order this whilst you can, the small production numbers will ensure that this doesn’t last long. Drinks exceptionally now, or over the next 2-4 years.
