Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise
| Muscat de Beaumes de Venise has been part of Vidal-Fleury's range since 1947 and over the years has become one of their most recognised wines. It fuses refreshing acidity with fresh and dried fruit characters to produce an elegant sweet wine that can be enjoyed with fruit based desserts, cheeses or as an aperitif. Muscat de Beaumes de Venise is a vin doux naturel, it is fermented until 8-10 degrees alcohol and then pure alcohol is then added to prematurely stop the fermentation retaining the natural sweetness of the wine. The resulting alcoholic content of the wine although fortified is no higher than a standard table wine. | |

South Wales Echo/Teeside Evening Gazette etc., 21st December 2013...a wine that is fresh enough to enjoy but sweet enough to take on your pud. Its yellow lusciousness smacks of grapefruit and orange zest. Stephen TanzerStephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Jan. 2014 Scotland on Sunday, 16t March 2014'...pale, almost delicate colour with a floral yet slightly spicy nose. On the palate, that spiciness takes on an orange-charged acidity before relaxing into a complex medley of clove balls, maple syrup. caramel and walnut - and a surprisingly sturdy 15% alcohol.' |
