Wine Review:This floral wine has notes of rose, peach, and apricot, with a smooth, lingering finish. This wine pairs well with both smoked Gouda and Munster cheeses. Also try it along with roast pork, turkey, red snapper or sautéed abalone

Personal Review: This dessert wine had the aroma of peach and honeysuckle with a slight rose undertake. It had a more peachy taste than anything else. To me there was no strong after taste in my throat but there was some aftertaste on my palette. This was a sweet wine that didn't bite. I didn't drink this wine with food but I liked it enough to give it a try and I can see how it could be good with strong cheeses.
