Elysium Black Muscat 2005 Andrew Quady (375ml) |
|

£20.00 |

The most fantastic deep magenta colour due in part
to new vineyard practices of excessive leaf pulling and cane cutting. This
practice also adds to more of a red fruit and litchi aroma. Elysium is used
to either accompany or replace dessert. It makes a wonderful accompaniment to
blue cheeses, red fruit or vanilla-based desserts, ice cream, and is one of
the very few wines which perfectly accompany chocolate. Best if served
slightly chilled. (California) |
