Made from vines planted on the island of Pantelleria (South Western Sicily), this is a modern take on the classic Moscato Passito. The name Ben Ryé derives from the Arabic `Son of the Wind`, after the wind which sweeps round the island. Vines are planted in hollows in the ground, at altitudes of 20-400 masl on terraced, sandy slopes of volcanic origin. The vines are over 100 years old and are ungrafted. Produced from 100% Zibibbo, the 2019 vintage is wonderfully fresh and complex. The bouquet is intense and rich with aromas of apricots and candied citrus zest combined with notes of Mediterranean thyme and rosemary. The palate is well-defined and intense, with pleasant sweetness balanced perfectly with fresh acidity and great minerality.
