This past summer Julia and I visited Marley Farm Winery near Victoria as part of a wine slash bike trip. This winery is reputed to be owned by a relative of Bob Marley. Indeed, when we arrived we could hear "I shot the sheriff" piped over the stereo.
Marley Farm Winery produces a selection of traditional grape wine as well as a variety of fruit wines. After sampling a few, I decided to buy a bottle of Kiwi Solera. It reminded me of sherry and had a great complexity.
Last night we decided to open it. On the nose it had a very aromatic, pleasant bouquet. To the taste, prevalent flavours of honey, pears, and apples. It indeed reminded me of sweet sherry.
