Dessert Wine

Santa Julia Tardio, Torrentes, 2012
Mendoza, Argentina 125ml 6.25 12% Alc Vol
500ml 18
This wine exudes intense aromas of over matured fruits, honey and dried fruits like pears, apricots and peaches. It is a sweet, unctuous in the mouth, silky, with balanced acidity. Complex and long finish.

Elysium Black Muscat, California, USA 125ml 8.50 15% Alc Vol
375ml 25
One of the very few black muscats. Elysium is Greek for Heaven, a fitting association for this excellent wine made by Andrew Quady. One of the few wines that can stand up to Chocolate Puddings, or try it poured over Vanilla Ice Cream, for the ultimate after-dinner treat!
