Dessert Wine

  • 2003 Tokaji 5 Puttonyos Aszu (50cl)

    Hungary

    Since 1990 with the collapse of the communist regime, the fortunes of Tokaji have been revived, thanks to privitisation of wineries and foreign investment and it is now producing some of the greatest dessert wine in the world. Made from a selection of the best botrytised grapes, sourced from first growth vineyard of Nyuloszo, the wine is rich with apricot and orange peel flavours, lovely honeyed sweetness with balanced and refreshing acidity.

    • £8.95  glass

  • 1999 Vin Santo di Montepulciano  (50cl)

    Veneto, Italy

    (100% Garganega)

    This is particularly evident in its excellent Vin Santo, one of the finest examples produced at the moment. Vin Santo, literally translated as “holy wine”, is made using the appassimento method, (drying of the grapes); the wine is aged in casks without stoppers to allow natural oxidisation. Amber in colour, it has an aroma of roasted hazelnuts, nutty complex flavour, sweet with a dry finish; a very special wine that complements Italian cheeses.

  • 2005 Roberto Anselmi, IL Capitelli (37.5cl)

    Veneto, Italy

    (100% Garganega)

    Anselmi has made one of Italy's leading dessert wines since the late 1980's. This Stunning Wine Shows intense, rich honey, floral and earth aromas. Full-bodied, sweet, dense and silky, with sultana, spicy honey and apricot flavours giving a long, smooth finish.

  • 2007 Recioto di Soave La Perlara, ca Rugate (50cl)

    Veneto, Italy

    (100% Garganega)

    This Recioto is obtained from the best grapes ripened on the Colle Rugate dried on special lattice frames and pressed at the end of the winter. The result is a yellow-golden coloured wine with an intense bouquet and a full-bodied persistent flavour with hints of almond and vanilla. Our favourite dessert wine.

    • £55.50  bottle

  • 2006 Monbazillac "Ancienne Cure", Domaine de l'Ancienne Cure (37.5cl)

    Monbazillac, South West France

    (Medium Body, Light Oak)

    We are not far away from Sauternes here (geographically speaking), but sometimes far ahead (in terms of quality). Monbazillac is one of the greatest sweet wines of the world, made from 100% Semillon grape. This wine is the ideal complement for a rich chocolate dessert.

    • £21.75  bottle

  • 2003 Beaume de Venise, Domaine de Coyeux (37.5cl)

    Rhone, France

    Beaumes de Venise has long been famous for its sweet Muscat. The muscat grape produces very fragrant and fresh wines. Here the alcoholic fermentation is stopped half way through by adding spirit. This fortifies the wine whilst retaining sweetness in the unfermented grape sugars. This wine is rich and grapey with full, tropical flavours combined with freshness and elegance. Delicious for pudding!
