The bright, alluring, golden colour hints at the elegance of this absolutely stellar icewine. A taste reveals its full opulence with the richness swirling gracefully and filling the palate with an explosion of lush fruits of mango, passionfruit, pineapple and lychees. 
The fruit-driven sweetness is supported perfectly by the well-balanced acidity and the lavish, lingering heat. Fantastic with exotic fruit salad, crème caramel, Roquefort cheese, blue cheese, or simply on its own after a beautiful meal. For a sweet experience, try it with foie gras.
