Wine Review: This light goldenrod colored dessert wine from Hermann Weimer opens with a mild raisin and peach like bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, quite sweet and rather viscous. The flavor profile is a sugared yellow grapefruit with hints of raisin, honey, and rum cake. The finish is dry and its flavors stick around for quite some time after the wine is gone. I would suggest drinking this dessert wine on its own after a big steak dinner. It will be a nice way to finish off the evening. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: A beautiful nose with honeyed citrus and apricot yields to mouth-coating flavors of clover and honey. The meticulous selection of individual berries ensures the highest purity while the appropriate balance of alcohol and sweetness forms a graceful wine that is luscious and satisfying.
