Lilac Wine
I think this year I went a little mad for Lilac and this is the latest creation!!! I loosely based this on a classic Provençal Vin D’orange; Orange Wine recipe – without adding any spice since i think the floral notes of the Lilac are strong enough.
I used a light rosé wine but you could easily use a dry white, not too sweet or floral though as you don’t want to spoil the delicate Lilac flavour.
