Winemakers notes: “Medium amber in color, this wine offers a bouquet of peach and orange blossom. Typical flavors of lychee with measured peach, honey, almond blossom and vanilla flavors.”

My review: My initial reaction to this wine was that it smelled like welch's grape juice. After tasting it, I was certain that it was almost as sweet and flavorful as a glass of Welch's grape juice. All I could taste was the sugar which did not allow for much of a lingering finish. I did not taste much acid at all and it seemed like this wine would make a good dessert wine.

Pairings: I did not pair this wine with any food.
