This is absolutely beautiful. A take-home from a trip to Holland, I am pleased to see it is available from the good folks at Vintage Roots, but at a significantly higher price. It has a full body due to the sugar, and enough acid to balance the luscious sweetness. This is gorgeous and if you like your dessert wines, you must try it if you get a chance.
To make this wine sweet, the grapes are dried on straw and rooibos tea. No doubt the tea contributes significantly to the flavour.
