Slivery straw color. Aromas and flavors of sweet lemon, pear, and apricot, thyme and sage, genetian root and sweet basil, jasmine, elderflower, and and mint with a round, crisp, fruity medium body and a seamless, complex, medium-long finish with accents of yellow apple, honeysuckle and candied lemon, dried apricot, white peach, lemon balm, violet, and honeysuckle. Fruity, floral, and herbaceous this would make for a lovely apéritif on its own or a great compliment to gin in long drinks, but too sweet for a martini application.

Wine Specialty is a category for higher alcohol wine based on aperitifs with a variety of flavorings that are sold in the spirits channel, but are not traditional fortified wines. This includes fruit aperitifs from Poland at 36 proof made from cherry and peach; Pineau des Charentes, a French aperitif made from wine grapes and Cognac eau-de-vie, and spiced dessert wine, made from herbs steeped in sweet wine. These specialty wines can have multiple purposes, be it drinking on their own, use in cocktails or even in cooking.
