Palate

• Sweet: definitely a dessert-style wine; sweetness is central to the experience.

• Texture: Likely thick/rich; sun-dried grapes and oak ageing give body and complexity.

• Flavours: Repeatedly figs, dried fruits, nutty notes (almond), possibly some dark / caramelised fruit; maybe elements of honey or molasses (though not explicitly cited, inferred from dried fruit & oak).

• Finish: Long, balanced despite high sugar / sweetness. A lingering aftertaste. The oak and fruit should remain noticeable well after swallowing.

Pairing suggestions

Chocolate pastries, particularly those that match with its dried fruit / fig notes. Seasonal fruits (dried fruit, fresh sweeter fruits).
