France, Sauternes
The wine smells of honey, white flowers and peach. A fresh and at the same time lush and full-bodied palate, a complex taste universe with a note of dried apricots.
I recently had the opportunity to compare it with its elder from 1995. We feel the very high quality put into the creation of this wine, thus creating a beverage that passes the years in an exceptional way! You could tell the '95 had once had the rich freshness that its younger sibling the 2009 has, but other flavors had developed. It is therefore prudent to order a case of this feat of Sauternes, as its quality/price ratio is incredible, in order to be able to see its evolution over the years.

(may contain sulphites, eggs, milk, fish)
Red and white wine usually contain sulphites, but there are sulphur-free wines available. Many wines use eggs, milk or fish at the fining stage of production. The ingredient list will not include these allergens because even though the wine has come into contact with these ingredients, they are removed from the final product.
