Thelema “Vin de Hel” Muscat Late Harvest (375ml) 2012
Beautiful rich golden colour with very typical Muscat characters on the nose complemented by some undertones of citrus and apricot. Superb mouthfeel with bags of flavour which is backed up with a good balance of acid.
Maturation
With correct cellaring this late harvest will age exceptionally well for at least 10 years from date of vintage.
Food Pairing
Enjoy with dessert or some fine handcrafted cheeses.

Beautiful light golden colour with very typical Muscat characters on the nose complemented by some undertones of citrus and apricot. Superb mouthfeel with bags of flavour which is backed up with a good balance of acid. Vin de Hel is an elegant, concentrated and delicious wine to enjoy with dessert or some fine handcrafted cheeses.
