Domaine des Bernardins, Muscat de Beaumes de Venise Half Bottle
At Domaine Bernardins, the vineyards and terroir are the essence of their wines, you can’t make great wine without great grapes.
The viticulture is essentially done by hand. Three people work by hand in the vineyards; pruning, de-budding, trellising, leaf removal and picking are thus carried out with the utmost care. The soil is prepared by using good old-fashioned ploughing. Organic compost is made from grape marc (the discarded stalks and skins).
After many years in sustainable agriculture, the estate is now producing fully certified organic grapes. They preserve and maintain biodiversity around the vineyard, with edge planting of Olive, almond, pomegranate and cypress trees, wild rosemary and capers, with nesting boxes for birds and bat houses.
Maison Sichel Sauternes, Half Bottle
Maison Sichel, founded in 1883, is a long-established Bordeaux family company. Their Sauternes is made mainly from Semillon with a touch of Sauvignon Blanc, harvested from botrytized grapes that concentrate sugars and flavours.
The wine is a deep golden colour with aromas of dried apricot, citrus peel, honey, and subtle floral notes. On the palate it is rich and sweet yet balanced by bright acidity, offering flavors of candied orange, honeycomb, and stone fruit. The finish is long and smooth, with lingering sweetness that avoids heaviness. It pairs well with blue cheese or desserts like crème brûlée.
Stanton & Killeen Rutherglen Muscat
Blended from several vintages with ageing for two to four years, this dessert wine has floral notes of crushed rose petal, lavender and orange blossom, Turkish delight & raisins with a smooth, velvety palate.
Dr. Loosen Riesling Beerenauslese
Dr Loosen is a family owned winery with over 200 years of history. The estate combine historical Grand Cru sites with the heritage of their ancestors to produce complex, world class wines that express the greatest qualities from the soil, climate and the grape varieties grown in the region.
An intense, ultra-concentrated dessert wine made from hand-selected grapes that have been shrivelled about halfway to raisins by botrytis (the “Noble Rot”). This is a bright, refreshing style with green apple, white peach and lemon flavours. It’s rich and intense with superb racy acidity.
Tschida Merlot Spätlese
Hans Tschida has won “Sweet winemaker of the year” an incredible nine times in total. Hans greatly enjoys tending to his 40 hectares of vineyards, 70% of which is dedicated to white grapes for sweet wines, in the quaint winemaking town of Illmitz on the right bank of Neusiedlersee.
A really attractive nose of wild strawberries, sour cherry, rhubarb and some herbaceous notes. Sweet but lifted palate of red fruits and a hint of spice. Really energetic and fresh for a dessert wine. Great with salty hard cheeses as well as blue and both fruit-driven puddings and chocolate desserts.
Quinta do Piloto Moscatel de Setubal
From some of the best vineyards of Moscatel on the Setubal peninsula. The wines are fermented, fortified and aged in bespoke large Anforas, giving a luscious, sweet fruitiness, freshness and vivacity that makes them perfect to drink on their own, or to pair with desserts or cheeses.
Dried fruit flavours, caramel, spices, floral and citrus orange peel. A beautiful wine.
Lyrarakis Liastos Sundried Sweet Wine
This sweet “Liastos” wine is a blend of local grapes which sun-dry (in the shade), giving a concentrated juice with dense aromas and taste. Clear orange colour in the glass. Intense deep bouquet of ripe peach and apricot combined with delicious citrus marmalade, a hint of spices and honey onthe nose. Rich mouthfeel with citric acidity giving freshness and a long intensely aromatic aftertaste. Excellent bottle-ageing potential that can surpass 10 years.
Domaine Montesquiou Grappe d’Or Jurancon
The Montesquiou family have been a source of Jurancon wines for generations, today it is run by brothers Sébastien and Fabrice who have raised the quality of the estate to a new level. The brothers employ many of the techniques of biodynamic viticulture so that no insecticides and herbicides are used. This philosophy demands that they put a great deal of work in their vineyards to produce healthy grapes that have good balance between ripeness and acidity. Having picked healthy grapes the brothers intervene as little as possible in the winery allowing both the grapes and vineyards to speak for themselves. The results are stunning.
Grown in the foothills of the Pyrenees, they have taken the indigenous grape varieties of Gros Manseng, Courbu and Camaralet and created something very special indeed. Concentrated flavours of apricot, lemon and honey. Sweet, but without being too much, a pure joy to drink.
Quinta do Piloto Moscatel de Setubal Superior 10 Year Old
An intensely flavoured aged sweet wine. Exuding aromas of orange blossom, citrus, bitter orange marmalade, raisins, figs and nuts, leading to a full bodied palate with a perfectly judged balance of sweetness and acidity. An incredible dessert wine.
