Gold color. Aromas and flavors of gingerbread, sweet potato pie, mulled cider, and Biscoff with a spritzy, off-dry medium body and an elegant, medium-length finish with notes of ginger, orange peel, and maple cookie. A lovely melange of spices create a perfect winter mulled wine effect; pass the Biscoff cookies.
