Vistamar, Late Harvest, Moscatel 2017, Limari Valley, Chile

Desert wine, its a marmite wine this, you either love it or hate it. The main issue I have is by the time desert is served you’ve had a few wines and think, its it worth opening another different wine?

Its got a beautiful rich lemon colour. There’s lots of ripe citrus, pineapple, lychee on the nose and taste. it has 100g of sugar, a dry wine has 5 or 10g as a comparison, but the acidity and sweetness balance is excellent. Its not a sticky desert wine but fresh and light. I liked it on its own but cheese and crackers at the end of the evening would be a great pairing.

At £6 a half bottle its great value.
