About this wine

Ben Ryé, "son of the wind" in Arabic, is Donnafugata's Passito di Pantelleria, made from Zibibbo (Muscat of Alexandria) grown on the volcanic island of Pantelleria, between Sicily and Africa, where the low bush vines are shaped by the wind.

Part of the grapes is dried in the sun and added to the fermenting fresh must, which gives an intense, rich sweet wine; it then ages in tank and at least 16 months in bottle. It shows dried apricot, citrus and candied orange peel with Mediterranean herbs and honey, balancing freshness and sweetness. This listing is the 2019 vintage, in a 375 ml bottle.
