Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep golden amber with coppery undertones, a warm, sunlit glow in the glass.
Nose
Layered peat smoke and grape-kissed sweetness mingle with vanilla-caramel from years in American oak. Beaumes de Venise infuses ripe peach and apricot, honeyed marmalade, and a syrupy candied-fruit core, while a saline coastal whisper and a touch of ash sharpen the aroma.
Palate
Opulent and full-bodied, the palate unfolds with sweet peat smoke tempered by Beaumes de Venise’s dessert-wine richness. Creamy vanilla and toasted oak cradle ripe fruit notes—apricot, peach, fig, and raisin—lifted by a touch of citrus zest. The 53% ABV delivers a warming spine as the finish lingers with peat, red-fruited sweetness, and spice.
Finish
Long, indulgent finish of sweet peat smoke mingled with honeyed fruit; apricot and vanilla seep through the warm oak. Beaumes de Venise’s lush sweetness lingers, fading to a soft sea-breeze that keeps a gentle, sweetly smoked echo.
