Acclaim
“A fragrant sweet wine with aromas of dried apricots, figs, marmalade, ginseng and orange blossom. It’s medium-bodied with a creamy, spicy and tropical palate. Excellent balance of sweet dried fruit with floral and candied-citrus character.”
— James Suckling, Mar 2022

Wine Production

The bunches dry in the sun for 5-7 days, followed by vinification. The wine is then finished in stainless steel for 18 months. These factors make the wine sweet,with concentrated acidity and sustained alcohol content.
