Product Notes

Far Niente Dolce Napa Valley Late Harvest is an exquisite wine known for its delightful sweet flavour. Produced in California's famed Napa Valley, this late harvest wine implies that grapes are left on the vine longer to increase their concentration of sugars. It unveils a honeyed allure with alluring aromas of apricot, buttery caramel and citrus zest. On the palate, the wine is incredibly rich and opulent, showcasing flavours of ripe peaches, candied ginger and baking spices. This is a luxurious wine with balanced sweetness and acidity, making it an exquisite treat for a traditional British cheese board or dessert pairing.

Tasting Notes

The 2015 Dolce is fresh and fruitful, with aromas of orange, lime, and apricot along with sweet floral notes of honeysuckle. This Dolce lands on the palate with a coating and pleasing thickness that carries the citrus flavors long into the finish. Key lime pie comes to mind as bakery spices combine with a creamy texture and mouthwatering citrus flavors.
