Samos, Vin Doux, Union de Samos (half)

Based in ruggedly beautiful Samos since 1934, the island's co-operative winery takes its role as keeper of the 3,000 year-old local dessert wine-making tradition very seriously. Their vineyards, planted to the sensuously-scented Muscat grape, cloak the slopes of Mount Ampelos at breathtaking altitudes. Fortified to 15%, this lovely wine offers a rich, sweet mouthful of toffee and fresh peach flavours and a dry honey finish. Sensational value.
