Tax-and-shipping-included pricing variant — same physical wine as the batch-03 parent listing. This handle confirms the 2021 vintage (parent's handle said 2022, title 2021 — handle data inconsistency in source export). 375ml format; drink within a year of opening.

Mood
Generous, dessert-table, anniversary, gift-ready

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this the same wine as the batch-03 parent listing?
A: Yes — same producer, same vintage (2021), same SKU. This tax-included variant's handle confirms 2021; the batch-03 parent had a handle slug of '2022' but title '2021' (a Shopify data inconsistency). Both PDPs refer to the same physical Dolce 2021.

Q: How sweet is Dolce?
A: Sweet by design — late-harvest Napa Sémillon/Sauvignon Blanc with botrytis influence. The style is Sauternes-leaning, with bright acid balancing the sweetness. Not syrupy.

Q: What pairs best?
A: Classic pairings: foie gras, blue cheese (Roquefort, Stilton), crème brûlée, fruit tarts, pecan or apple desserts. Foie gras at the start of dinner or blue-cheese course at the end is the textbook move.
