Included here primarily because of the label. I initially mistook it for Domaine de Durban because of the 3 “T” green shield… a lookalike maybe? Not a bad example of Muscat de Beaumes de Venise, but equally not a stunning one. Typically zesty orange, and stood up as expected, to almond scented crème brulée.
