Thelema Muscat de Frontignan 2012
Off-dry, unwooded, fragrant and fresh – beware the irresistable quaffability of this excellently balanced wine.
Maturation
Ready now, but will develop for 2 more years
Food Pairing
A perfect lunch time wine on its own, or with salads and delicately flavoured dishes.
Winemaker's Comments
Off-dry. Fragrant, fresh and in good balance; an irresistible quaffer.
