Tasting Notes

Medium gold in colour with fresh green hues. The bouquet of honey apricots and mandarin invite you towards a marmalade and melon palate. Quince and other assorted tropical fruits provide depth and complexity of palate. The wine is luscious and full but still retains a crisp and clean finish.

Suggested Foods

Serve the Sylvaner with a fabulous cheese platter and fruits or serve with a delicious Creme Brulee.
