2021 Sweet Danielle
The 2021 Sweet Danielle is a desert wine loaded with ripe tropical notes. The wine literally flies out of the glass with notes of candied pineapple, lush apricots, and passionfruit. On the palate, the wine has a delicious, mouth-watering entry followed by a seriously viscous mid palate that lingers on and on. After the first taste, residual flavors of pineapple, pear, and apricot linger on the palate for quite a few moments. The excellent acid backbone keeps this wine flowing into a long, smooth finish. Our Sweet Danielle is the perfect wine to serve as or with dessert.

Tasting Notes
The first full harvest of Petit Manseng out of Strother Family Vineyards. A very full-bodied white, our Sweet Danielle is a classic dessert wine which can be enjoyed on its own or with food. It has a rich texture and aromas of flowers and beeswax. On the palate, it is simultaneously smooth and bright. The natural acidity of Petit Manseng gives it a crisp finish.
