Chambers Rosewood specialises in making dessert wines. The rare and grand reserve wines are ultra expensive but the NV series by comparison sell for a song (and a dance). Like it's sibling, this dessert wine runs at 19% alcohol but comes with a lighter colour of gold. Possesing a full, syrupy body, the wine gave a nose of canned sweet tangerine, orange marmalade and orange liqueur chocolate. Upon tasting, more tangerine, orange characters followed with sweet and spicy (but not hot) pepper. The botrytis character of wild honey also came through with more orange liqueur chocolate. Compare to the Muscat, this Muscadelle is less complex. What these wines lack in my humble opinion, is a tad more acidity to give more vibrancy. The finish is fair.
