Dom. Fontanel 2015 Rivesaltes Ambré
This stunning dessert wine is the product of 60 year-old Grenache Blanc vines, blended with Grenache Gris and Muscat. The classic rancio nose is no preparation for the sumptuously concentrated palate, which shows a panoply of burnished, nutty flavours, elegantly married with oak. This is an excellent match for desserts incorporating baked fruits and nuts.
