Deviation –We thought it would be fun to make a "love potion"/dessert wine, so we infused Damiana and Scented Geranium into our Essensia Orange Muscat dessert wine. Damiana is a plant that has a very pleasant herbal character which is reputed to have aphrodisiac properties. Scented Geranium is said to be used in witchcraft where practitioners supposedly employ its hauntingly seductive aroma in "love potions". This combination takes dessert wines to an entirely new dimension.
What we have here is a tasty new kind of aromatized dessert wine. The aromatics of the Scented Geranium meld gracefully with the Orange Muscat, and the herbal minty taste of Damiana is a nice adjunct to the orange apricot tea Essensia flavors. Aromas of honeysuckle and white peppercorn are layered on an ethereal perfume of exotic flowers. Lively and fresh on the tongue this is a wine to linger over on those evenings when the lights are low and imaginations soar and dance.
