First up, this is semi sweet. Now that we've got that out of the way, it's also deliciously floral, and the orange blossom, ripe mandarin and lime flavours are long and refreshing. The crisp finish is exactly what's needed to balance everything up. Those who prefer an off dry style will revel in this. It's a good match for asian food, light curries, fruit and is great by itself. It's also a low 9.5% alcohol for those who are cutting down.
