Lush & Balanced Desserts

Many of these wines often have been touched by botrytis, and have a beautiful balance between fruit & acidity. Despite being lush, they often have some brightness or mineraility to them, and are not as thick textured as some other dessert styles. Classic notes would be honey, botrytis, apricot, peach and other stonefruit, marmalade, spice
