Character and style

This is a sweet dessert wine with great concentration and intense aroma, successfully balancing sweetness and freshness. The golden, dark color announces the wine's complex bouquet of exotic and ripe aromas.

Fragrance and flavor notes

The nose offers layers of pickled oranges, cloudberries, baked apples and mango, with botrytis and beeswax adding depth. The palate is rich and full-bodied, but surprises with a clear and lively acidity that gives the wine a bite and prevents the sweetness from becoming too heavy. Notes of tropical fruit, honey and honeydew melon combine with an almost jam-like sweetness and a long finish.

Serving & food pairing

Serving temperature: Cool, typically around 6-8 °C, so that the wine's sweetness and aromas stand out clearly.

Food pairing: Perfect with fruit desserts, apple crumble, gingerbread or mature cheeses. Can also be enjoyed alone as a luxurious end to a meal.
