Made from four local white grape varieties and aged three years in oak casks, it has pale apricot-gold colour. Sweet nose of yellow sultana, orange, barley sugar and tobacco set in a soft, mellow, creamy texture, with a warm buzz and nutty dried-apricot finish. Excellent length. Try as a chilled aperitif with a twist of orange or lemon. Golden Anchor Imports Inc., 416-616-2874
