This dessert wine made from the Semillon grape comes from the Bordeaux region of France which is more famous for its Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot red blends. But Sauternes is just as famous if you like sweet wines that aren’t excessively sweet. It’s sweet-sour flavours of Seville orange marmalade with added lemon and the aromas of a fluffy textured apple are most appealing. Add in the extra floral notes on the aroma and you have a wine that is as enjoyable sipping it on its own or enjoying with cheesecake desserts or even Cheshire cheese and fruitcake.
