Domaine Des Richards Muscat de Beaumes de Venise 2016

This is a Vins doux Naturel style, made from Muscat à Petits Grains.

The fermentation is stopped when half of the sugar in the must is converted into alcohol by adding neutral alcohol. This has the effect of maintaining the sweetness from the sugar in the wine.

The nose is beautifully aromatic and fresh evoking ripe peach, apricot and grape nuances; the fortification is first class as it is barely noticeable, the wine is loaded with delicate florals and elegance. The palate delivers perfect balance and harmony between the rich ripe, clean and fresh sweet pineapple, mango and apricot flavors and the glycerol of the fortification and lovely finesse and acidity.
