2015 Feudo Arancio Hekate Passito

Honeyed marmalade meets dried apricot and candied brazil nuts on the nose; there is an unctuousness to the palate with plenty of ripe apricot, fig and the faintest thread of ginger. There is great acidity to a wine that has so much residual sugar that ensures things remain fresh and flowing, there is apricot skin like textural contrast to finish with such mouth filling length.

Deep golden-amber colour; viscous in the glass. Intense aromas of barley sugar, marmalade and toffee. Some botrytis infuence suspected. The wine is intense and clean throughout, well-made and while very sweet it’s well balanced and doesn't cloy. Dried, mixed citrus peel flavours persist. There's enough grip and acidity to cleanse the finish. Very good.
