Pudding Wines
Chorus Muscat Moelleux
Complex, citrus and honey notes, with flavours of rose and orange bark.
Norton Cosecha Tardia Late Harvest Chardonnay
Harvested late in the season, the Cosecha Tardia (or Late Harvest) is bright golden yellow in colour. Aromas of flowers and peaches on the nose follow through onto a rich, ripe palate with balanced, fresh acidity and a pleasant finish.
Château Pleytegeat Sauternes
An immediately inviting nose, combining apricot fruit, creamy patisserie notes and a certain citrus brightness, leads to a sweet yet beautifully balanced palate. Luscious but never cloying.
Tokaji Late Harvest Cuvée, Sauska
Gorgeously rich yet precisely balanced, this classic Tokaji presents flavours of dried peach, apricot and toffee, all cut with a zesty citrus note. There is intensity and power here, but a lightness of touch that makes it decidedly moreish.
Port
Ruby Port Ferreira
A fresh and delicate aroma, reminiscent of spices and dry fruit, acquired during oak ageing. In the mouth this is an elegant wine that shows a fine balance between structure and sweetness, providing it with an attractive, long finish.
LBV Port Ferreira
The intense aroma is dominated by very ripe black fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry and prune), along with chocolate, cocoa, floral aromas and a slight hint of spices (pepper). In the mouth it is a fullbodied wine with great balance between sweetness and richness of structure.
Tawny Port 10 Years Old Quinta do Porto Ferreira
The nose is characterised by an excellent balance between the floral and ripe fruit aromas of the grapes themselves and the spicy, dry fruit aromas of long ageing in barrel. The palate shows the classic, fresh Ferreira style, achieving fine balance and a long finish.
Warre’s Otima Tawny 10 Year
Gentle dried fruit with an attractive toasty, savoury character. Rich and suave with caramelised orange peel incisiveness combining freshness with the complexity of age.
Vintages are subject to availability. All prices are inclusive of V.A.T.
