Inspired by the French Pineau des Charentes method, Pino de Bali is an innovation for a tropical winery. This fortified “apéritif” wine can remind of Porto or Sherries since it has been carefully fortified and aged in oak barriques. The Rose version, made from the local Alphonse-Lavallée grapes, delivers a walnuty and dried apricot scent on the nose along with sweet red fruit flavours. The finish is sweet and the palate, a touch hot. As for the White version, made from the local Belgia grapes aged in oak, this liqueur wine is a relatively delicate wine with a warm palate, raisiny an woody overtones flavours along with orange peel and nutty aromas. The Pino de Bali wears a smooth finish yet not overly sweet. It makes for a delicious before dinner drink as the French would have it, but also highly recommended as a desert wine.
