'Dessert wine' means different things to different people, but the one thing everyone says is 'sweet'. That means Rieslings, Sauternes, Semillons, and more. We have some very fine 'noble' Rieslings from New Zealand (which is where the grapes are made sweeter by the beneficial botrytis cinerea fungus), which are yet another style of dessert wine. Most dessert wines are served slightly chilled, although the famed Baron Philippe de Rothschild advocated serving sauternes so chilled it was nearly a slushy! Decadent indeed.

The abundant aromas and flavours evoke impressions of ripe cantaloupe melon, mango, pineapple, lychees, and manuka honey. On the palate, the wine is rich and unctuous. Underneath this, however, there is a streak of minerality and fine acidity that keep it fresh, lively and refined, drawing out its lingering after flavours.
