Ben Ryé 2023 has a golden colour with bright amber tints. Intense bouquet with typical notes of dried grapes, apricot, citrus fruit and candied orange peel, followed by hints of Mediterranean maquis. Fruity and balsamic notes in the mouth together with sweet hints of honey. Intense and persistent, it stands out for its good balance of freshness and sweetness

Exotic yet remarkably fresh, the 2023 Ben Ryé bursts from the glass with a seductive blend of white raisins, minty herbs, poached peaches and tropical citrus. It is weighty, rich and harmonious throughout, coming across as sweet but not cloyingly so. Ultra-ripe pit fruit combines with candied lemon and a crisp mineral tinge that adds form toward the close. Dramatically long, the 2023 leaves a resonance of sour melon and an air of confectionary spice while cleaning up well, leaving the palate completely refreshed.
