I opened a bottle of this over the Mid Autumn festival holiday and tried matching it with mooncakes. Now there are so many different types of mooncakes, both traditional and modern (not to mention the ice-cream type), so that one wine cannot be expected to match everything. There was also the Chilean sweet Viognier Sauvignon for company. This wine was obviously more acidic than the Chilean one. It matched well with the custard filled mooncakes, but could not stand up to those traditional lotus paste ones.
AS fopr the wine itself, it was a nice golden yellow, with a sweet acid fruity nose (with a tiny hint of mango). The palate was sweet acid and apricoty, with dried apricot acidity as a nice supportive backbone. I think it will go with my intended flamuss aux pommes at my Burgundy dinner.
