Structure: medium-bodied, medium acidity, sweet
This sweet Gaillac shows honeyed orchard fruit and candied citrus with a floral, waxy edge typical of Mauzac. It has enough acidity to keep the sweetness balanced rather than cloying, giving a fresh, ripe-fruit finish. It suits gentle sipping alongside desserts or rich, salty cheeses.
