'The Nectar' Botrytis Riesling

Appearance:
Golden to deep amber hue, especially with age.

Aroma:
Strong botrytis influence — expect honey, citrus marmalade, dried apricot, orange peel, and a touch of caramel or toffee as tertiary notes evolve.

Palate:
Lusciously sweet but balanced by good acidity. Flavours often include honeyed stone fruit (apricot/peach), citrus marmalade, fig and a hint of spice, with a viscous, rich texture.

Finish:
Long, with lingering sweetness that stays fresh rather than cloying thanks to Riesling’s natural acidity.

Sauternes 1er Grand Cru Classe

Château d'Yquem is considered by many to be Bordeaux’s single greatest wine and it is the only wine in France to hold the Premier Cru Superieur (Great First Growth) designation. The uncompromising pursuit of quality is what sets this sweet white wine apart – a standard meticulously maintained throughout the estate’s history.

Chateau d`Yquem is often described as the greatest sweet wine in the world. After centuries of family ownership, Yquem was finally sold in acrimonious circumstances to Louis Vuitton-Moët-Hennessy in 1999. However, its former owner and director Alexandre de Lur-Saluce remains in charge. …

Lenotti

"Recioto," as in "Recioto della Valpolicella," refers to a dessert wine made from grapes that were dried on mats after picking. This process turns the grapes closer to raisins, concentrating the flavours. The wines are lovely and taste how you'd expect raisins-turned-wine to taste, rich and sweet.

Crafted predominantly from Sémillon, with smaller proportions of Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle, this vintage reflects the favorable conditions of the 1979 harvest, which allowed for the development of noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), essential for the concentration and complexity characteristic of Sauternes wines.

The wine displays golden hues with aromas of honey, dried apricots, marmalade, and a touch of almond. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, with flavors of candied citrus, honeyed fruit, and hints of vanilla and spice, showcasing good acidity that keeps it balanced and refreshing.

Sauternes 1er Cru Classe
Sweet White Wine

Beautiful copper in colour with bouquet that can fill a room with apricots and gardenia with a hint of ocean breeze. In the mouth it is wonderfully delicious as most desert wines are but what set this apart is it's not so sweet with good firm tannin structure and a bit of honeydew and cinnamon on the back end. Also as with most desert wines the finish lingers for (seemingly) hours and butter, honey, and citrus coating your throat. This wine is absolutely wonderful.

Château Rieussec, located in the Sauternes appellation of Bordeaux, France, is renowned for its prestigious history and exceptional sweet wines. …

Livio Felluga

Picolit is an indigenous grape produced in tiny quantities in the cool climates of the Colli Orientali (Friuli). The pallor of this precious passito, and the delicacy of its soft, floral aromas belie the elegant intensity of its flavour where creamy honey, white flowers, white peach and marzipan are beautifully balanced by a refreshing zip of acidity.
