Wood nymphs and water sprites, but not mountain denizens, will succumb to the charms of this nectar. It goes down easy, given its lack of complexity, but if you are a jaded old satyr you can use that to your advantage.

Open this for your running mates and expect to be stoned.

Goes with:
Dark meat roasted chicken, but not with dry white meat. Raw milk sharp cheddar with roasted salted cashews, but it does need a salted nut to balance the combination of the sharp cheese with the wine.

Bacchus speak:
Displays some legs but mostly sheets down the glass. A touch of an acrid nose, but with a definite fruity smell, with a hint of sweet at the end of the sniff. A dull somewhat ugly rose colour. The smells carry over to the palate, with a nice fruit dominance, thats reasonably sweet with a touch of astringency on the finish.
