Fallen Angel Sweet FA NZ 2008

82/100 35

Neither grape variety or region is shown on the label of this reasonabl;y sweet white wine with the catchy brand “Sweet FA” (“FA” may stand for “Fallen Angel” or it may be a reference to the lack of information on the label). Some botrytis is evident although the wine is not overwhelmingly honeyed. It has a good balance of acidity and a rather chunky texture. Solid sticky.

Tasted: Feb 2009   Closure: Twin Top    Average price: NZD $36 (~USD $30)
