White Sweet Port

White port, made from a blend of local white Portuguese grapes is a little less intense than a tawny or a ruby and is one of the great summer sun-downers, simpler than fino sherry but just as refreshing!

This sweet white port from Messias has a lovely golden colour in the glass and a slight citrus aroma with a hint of wood. Fine and well balanced it is a superb after dinner drink, aperitif or, like they do in Portugal, mix in equal parts to tonic and garnish with a slice of lemon - a refreshing change to G&T.

Messias was founded in 1926 by Messias Baptista, who served as chairman until 1973. …

Sherry, Manzanilla Pasada Pastora

Barbadillo Manzanilla Pasada en Rama Pastora is a complex fortified wine that is full of nuances, and especially recommended to those who love manzanillas. Its golden yellow colour already gives some indication about how many years it has aged. Suspicions are confirmed in the smell, where very marked yeast aromas appear, with saline and marine hints. The palate is intense and powerful, with dry, salty and bitter, very light touches.

Serve this sherry at 8°C and pair with oily fish, smoked foods, white fish, aperitif, charcuterie, sushi, cured cheeses.

Champagne Napoleon Cognac

An old release of Bisquite Cognac with an average age of 20 years. Bisquit is produced in Jarnac, in the Petite Champagne region of Cognac. We estimate that this was bottled during the 1960s.
Legend has it that Napoleon took crates of Courvoisier Cognac into exile with him to the island of St Helena, and the crew coined the Cognac as "Napoleon's Cognac".

Tasting Notes
Elegant copper highlights, a lingering bouquet, and a powerful, round flavour make this a very distinguished cognac. The oaky characteristics and candied fruit flavours coat the palate after the first sip.

A wonderful cognac to enjoy as a digestif at the end of a meal. …

Old Pale Grande Fine Champagne cognac, Family Reserve Brandy

Steeped in tradition and shippers since 1769, Cognac Prunier is a family run firm with cellars in the heart of the town of Cognac.

We estimate that this bottle of Prunier Old Pale Fine Champagne Cognac from France was bottled in the early 1970s.

The cognac comes from a large collection built up during the 1970s in Kent, England. For 50 years the owner displayed the collection in the family’s home bar, with later additions being gifted to the collector by friends and family.

Aromas of liquorice, coffee, dried fruits, orange peel and almonds fill the nose, complemented by notes of oak, leather, dried fruits and rancio throughout the palate. …

Noval Tawny Port
Bottled in 1974

This Quinta Do Noval Tawny Port is a style of fortified wine characterised by its amber colour and complex flavour profile that develops from extended aging in wooden barrels.

Pedro Ximénez `El Candado`

El Candado is Spanish for the padlock, and indeed every bottle comes with a small padlock and two little keys. The idea is that a butt from this solera used to be locked away as someone from the Valdespino family wanted to keep the wine to himself.

Nose: quite a bright nose, with lots of raisins and figs but in a fruity way rather than the sticky way. Honey and plenty of quince jelly. Some green, leafy notes too, as well as a light woody touch. Light cinnamon.

Mouth: very sweet and onctuous, but again not over the top. Toffee notes, desserts with figs and honey. Guava. Grows slightly darker towards the end, with some Turkish coffee, dark caramel and a light spicy edge (pepper, cardamom). …
