Luigi's mucatel lexias

So late in the season it all starts to get a little rotty and oversweet. And so these bunches are a little past it


Do the "where's Wally" and try to find the bee, picking up a little random sweetness.

But for a person pottering around a garden, those remaining berries are simply gifts from god. Tiny bundles of sugar. And, so I'm told, when they shrivel they're know as lexias. One for this of us who remember the cask wine label "fruity lexia".

Oh, apparently it still exists
