Dry Furmint 2008, Royal Tokaji
The name Furmint is derived from 'froment', the Hungarian word for the wheaten colour of its wines. More commonly associated with the super-sweet dessert wines of Hungary, the Furmint grape is employed here in a dry white, to stunning effect. Well-defined aromatics comprising rich honey notes and stone fruits on the nose. Plenty of acidity gives the palate crispness and bite, with mineral tinges accenting the fruit-laden, exotic feel. Partner with strong creamy cheeses or rich poultry dishes.

Torres Floralis Moscatel Oro NV 50cl Bottle
The Torres family have been making this Moscatel Oro, or 'Gold Muscat' since 1946. A non-vintage wine, created by blending to achieve a consistent signature. This wine is made in the style of a Vin Doux Naturel, similar to the dessert wines of the Languedoc. Trademark Moscatel aromas of orange blossom and honeyed fruit, accompanied by delicious spicy notes of tobacco leaf and clove. Indulgently sweet, with an enduring candied citrus zest finish. Drink with fruit puddings, crème caramel, or even ripe blue cheeses.
Brown Brothers Late Harvest Muscat 2009
Renowned for their light, fruit-driven wines, Brown Brothers have applied this formula to a full-on dessert wine. Showing off the Muscat's unmistakably 'grapey' flavour, this wine is intensely sweet, yet fresh and approachable, with just enough acidity to cut through the layers of honeyed sweetness, with a few gentle floral notes on the nose for good measure. Enjoy with summer puddings and fruit tarts, or even creamy cheeses.
