2016 Sexton Vivier Pineau

Stéphane was first introduced to Pineau des Charentes by his grandmother, Mémé who lives a stone’s throw from Bordeaux, where this local fortified sweet wine is enjoyed mostly before dinner.
NOSE: Turkish apricots, concord grapes and pomegranate seed
TASTE: spiced up with hints of black tea and orange peel

Serve chilled, either the French way, as an apéritif, or the American way, as a digestif. The French drink it straight. Dana drinks it on the rocks with a splash of soda + orange wedge
