| TASTING NOTE: Apple genie-in-a-bottle packaging is really eye-catching (trivia question: how do they get the apple in the bottle?). Attractive medium-gold colour with aromas of apple-cinnamon, cloves, pie crust, caramel and even hints of yellow pear. Dry with a subtle, elegant apple-cinnamon replay. Chill it slightly and serve it as a digestif, or enjoy it with fresh cinnamon scones or baked apples. (Trivia answer: They grow the apple inside the bottle, right on the tree branch!)
