Thelema “Vin de Hel” Muscat Late Harvest (375ml) 2015
A golden dessert wine with very typical Muscat characters on the nose. The wine shows upfront aromas of pineapple, citrus, apricots, a touch of honey and subtle floral notes. The palate is lush with the perfect balance between sweetness and fresh acidity.
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.
