'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.

Fabulous concentration of citrus and honeyed stone fruits with vanilla bean accentuation from the French oak barriques that it matures in for 12 months make for a mouth-filling delight. And the fusion of sweetness, spice and deft acidity add even more layers of seductiveness to the impressive wine.

Regular in quality, Chateau Villefranche Sauternes is composed of Sémillon dominance of a good classicism, by its golden and limpid dress, by its bouquet with the beautiful notes of ripe yellow fruits, quince, and honey, by its balance and its fat. It can be enjoyed from aperitif to dessert.
