Notes
-----
Color is a lovely yellow golden, the color of citrine. The
nose is very light, a faint scent like brandied peaches.
Wow, this is a very tasty dessert wine. It has a
medium-thick body, but not too syrupy. There's an explosion
of fruit flavor, brandied peaches apricot, and orange, with
a nice level of sweetness and good acidity to balance it.
I'm very impressed by the quality of this wine; I wasn't
expecting much, but it's quite tasty.

Production Notes
----------------
This sweet dessert wine is the end result of the fungus
Botrytis Cineria that infected some Chenin Blanc grapes
early in the picking season of the 2002 harvest.

The grapes were carefully selected and the sugar measured at
41
