TASTING NOTES
Muscat of Alexandria is one of the world's oldest varietals. It originated from ancient Egypt and it is one of the few varietals that has remained genetically unchanged. This beautiful dessert wine has bright flavors of mandarin orange, honey, lychee, peach, and honeysuckle with captivating aromas of citrus and jasmine. The finish is long while the acid is balanced and dances nicely all the way through. This is an epic wine to complete a meal.
