Errazuriz Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc 2007(Casablanca Valley, Chile)

Errazuriz Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc 2007(Casablanca Valley, Chile)

 

The pale yellow colour will turn golden with time. The nose displays myriad concentrated ripe fruit aromas, ranging from cherimoya to apricot interlaced withsubtle notes of orange zest and a hint of honey. The sweet, lush texture envelops the palate while crisp acidity maintains with wine's freshness."

That is the winemaker's note - all I would add is that Chilean late-harvested Sauvignon is an undiscovered treat for most lovers of dessert wine.

Domaine de Durban, Muscat de Beaumes de Venise 37.5cl<br>(Rhone, France)

Domaine de Durban, Muscat de Beaumes de Venise 37.5cl
(Rhone, France)

 

Durban claims that their Muscats are so much more aromatic and more delicately coloured than any other Beaumes de Venise because they use a very unique form of the variety .Whatever the reason this is the wine that the critics universally agree to be the best and is full of wonderful orangey / pear flavours. Sweet without being cloying, within France it is frequently used as an aperitif as much as a desert wine. Ideal with lighter puddings such as meringue

Crown Estates Tokaji Aszu 2000 25cl

Crown Estates Tokaji Aszu 2000 25cl

 

This is the great wine of North Eastern Hungary produced around the town of Mad. It is so revered within Hungary itself that it is even mentioned in the national anthem. The region's ability to make fine dessert wines was discovered in 1650 by Zssuzsana Lorantfly, a monk. In 1650 the area was attacked by the Turks, and so the grapes were left on the vines. By the time they were harvested the grapes had started to rot on the vines. Zssuzsana made a wine anyway and the result was 'much admired'. The 'Noble Rot' (Botrytis Cineria) had been discovered and led to the production of most of the world's great dessert wines.

Ochoa Moscatel 2008 Organic 50cl
(Spain)

 

Muscatel (Muscat) is one of the few grape varieties that actually makes a wine that tastes of grapes! These particular muscat grapes are so delicious that it has been noted that the rabbits that plague this vineyard pick on the Muscat, and will only eat the other grape varieties once the Muscat has been harvested! Quite light for a dessert wine it will match well with fruit tarts, meringue dishes and summer fruits.
