Pale yellow in colour, Monarch Late Harvest Vidal VQA opens with a delightful bouquet of ripe peach, juicy pear, bright citrus, golden honey, and delicate floral aromas.
The palate is rich and mouth-filling, revealing generous flavours of apricot, peach preserves, ripe pear, honey, and citrus. Its luscious fruit character and smooth texture create a decadent yet approachable dessert wine experience, while the fresh citrus notes help bring balance to the wine's concentrated sweetness.
Enjoy it chilled alongside dessert, pair it with a beautifully composed cheese board, or pour a glass on its own as an elegant finish to a memorable meal.
