Château Roumieu Sauternes
Château Roumieu
Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc affected by noble rot (botrytis cinerea) — the rot concentrates sugars and creates the signature honey/apricot character. Balanced by acidity so it never cloys. Pairs with savoury richness too — foie gras, blue cheese.

Domaine des Bernardins Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise 2023
Domaine des Bernardins
Muscat from the southern Rhône, made in the vin doux naturel style — fresh sweetness lifted by floral, citrus and stone fruit aromatics. Far brighter and lighter than the heavy dessert wine cliché. Served chilled.

Valdespino 'Contrabandista' Amontillado Sherry
Valdespino
Valdespino's 'Contrabandista' Amontillado — dry, nutty, complex. The classic amontillado profile: starts as fino under flor, then loses the flor and ages oxidatively, picking up toasted-almond, hazelnut, salinity and gentle wood character. Real Jerez tradition.

Jerez, Spain
Valdespino Fino Sherry
Valdespino
Fino sherry — bone-dry, pale, lifted by flor (the layer of yeast that protects the wine during ageing). Almond, salt, fresh bread. Drink it cold with olives, jamón or fried fish. The most refreshing dry aperitif in the world.

Williams & Humbert 'Don Zoilo' Palo Cortado Sherry
Williams & Humbert
Williams & Humbert's Don Zoilo Palo Cortado spends a minimum of 15 years ageing through the traditional Criaderas y Soleras system. Made by selecting the finest soleras and vintages — wines that combine the finesse of an Amontillado on the nose with the body and structure of an Oloroso on the palate. Old gold colour, intense complex aromatics, toasted nuts and hazelnuts. Dry, silky, full-bodied with balanced acidity and a long expressive finish.
