The luscious and complex nose—peach conserve, apricot jam, sweet apple cider and honeysuckle—heralds the equally lush concentrated fruit flavours replaying on the palate. A vibrant backbone of acidity assures well-crafted balance and underlines the persistent honeyed finish. Pour alongside a selection of artisan cheeses or apricot tart. Available from Konzelmann Estate Winery in Niagara-on-the-Lake and worth the drive, phone 905-938-8201 or email to have it delivered by the case to your home or office. (Susan Desjardins)
