More Info
Tasting Notes: Made entirely from Muscat Blanc a Petit Grains from the Village of Beaumes-de-Venise in the Rhone Valley, this is a style of sweet wine that dates back to the 14th century. Full of apricot, peach, orange peel and coconut aromas followed by unctuous, opulent layers of exotic fruit flavours on the palate and supported by high acidity which gives balance to the intense fruit.
The Southern Rhone is home to many famous appellations with a great variety of soils and microclimates, though in general sees ideal growing conditions that are warm and dry, with the Mistral wind proving a defining feature. Grenache forms the backbone of southern Rhône blends, including Châteauneuf du Pape, Gigondas and Vacqueyras. With a range of varieties grown, the region sees a range of styles produced from quality red and white wines to the aromatic dessert wine Muscat de Beaumes de Venise.
Food Match : Served traditionally with Caramel Buche de Noel (French Christmas cake) but will also go perfectly with appetisers like Foie gras and a selection of cheeses particuarly blues like Rochebaron.
