Other White And Red Dessert Wines |
| Description: |
|
This rich authoritative dessert wine is bright ruby violet. It has a heady bouquet of berries and spices with warm, lingering elegance. The impressive structure of Sella & Mosca, with over 500 hectares of vineyards in the Alghero area of north-west Sardinia, makes them one of Europe’s largest wineries to produce exclusively form their own grapes. Investments in state of the art technology and vineyard management gives Sella & Mosca’s wines incredible consistency. Since the company’s foundation in 1899 by the eponymous Piemontese partners, it has set the winegrowing standard for Sardinia. The white wines are very modern in style, very clean, with an extraordinary freshness given the hot Mediterranean climate. The red production is mostly in a more traditional vein, with ripe Mediterranean spicy flavours to the fore (6 x 75 cl)

Domaine de l'Arlot CLOS DE ARLOT 1er Cru Nuits-Saint-Georges
Description: Domaine de L'Arlot takes its name from the 'Clos de L'Arlot', a ten acre vineyard surrounding the elegant house, which in turn takes its name from a small river that runs through the village of Premeaux and underground under the Clos. Most unusually for Burgundy, Jean Pierre de Smet did not inherit the domaine from his family and only came to the area and wine-making in 1977. He then studied oenology at Dijon, following which he was invited by AXA Insurance in 1987 to be a partner, manager and wine-maker in the domaine they were about to buy. De Smet's skill and willingness to innovate along with the inherent quality for the terroir have combined to project Domaine de L'Arlot to the very top with De Smet picking up countless medals for his wines. Clos-de-l'Arlot is a 4ha plot in Nuits-Saint-Georges and it has produced a light red coloured wine. Displaying plenty of Pinot Character the smoky, plummy nose gives way to a rich, soft palate with a complex finish. With the exception of two parcels in Vosne Romanée, the vineyards are located South of Nuits-Saint-Georges in the Cote de Nuits. There are many old vines, some of them over fifty years old, but the average is about twenty-five years. Strict pruning and very light fertilisation ensure very low yields to ensure that the very best quality is achieved in the grapes. The 'lutte raisonnee' approach informs viticultural practices, bringing them as close to organic as is reasonably feasible and only spraying as little as possible when it is absolutely necessary. This encourages a more beneficial ecosystem in the vineyard, allowing nature to establish its own checks and balances. In the winery intervention is kept to a strict minimum and yeasts are 100% wild. After a manual harvest, whole bunches are gently pressed, followed by a slow fermentation with temperatures being allowed to reach a maximum peak of a little over 30°c for a day. The wine then undergoes two to three weeks post-fermentation maceration, and fining, if it occurs at all, is carried out using fresh egg whites. The wine is then matured for just under two years in Domaine-seasoned Allier new oak. (12 x 75 cl)

Stellar Winery FAIRTRADE Organic Shiraz RSA
Description: Red, almost brick coloured wine is showing wild veld, honeybush tea and spiciness on the nose. Ripe raspberry tartness and spice on the palate develop with the well-integrated tannins and a savoury finish. Stellar Winery is situated 275 km north of Cape Town on the road to Namibia. The winery makes use of a semi-arid climate, unrivalled refrigeration capacity and extensive in-house engineering skills to produce modern, Fairtrade organic wines. Stellar Winery was the first organic vineyard and cellar operation to receive the highly sought after Fairtrade accreditation. Fairtrade companies undertake to empower economically disadvantaged workers and ensure that a fair price is paid for the product along the whole supply chain. Stellar Winery undertakes a big commitment with both farm and cellar staff transported to and from work, while families receive health care and the permanent services of a community worker. Workers receive free housing, electricity and water as well as subsidised schooling and child-care facilities. Finally, a percentage of the wholesale price of the wine is paid directly back to the Stellar Fairtrade Workers' Trust. The wine is made in the sparsely populated Namaqualand region and does not suffer the light pollution that plagues urban areas around the world. The dark nights and clean air result in a breathtaking cosmic display with the aptly-named Milky Way at its centre and the producer pays homage to this phenomenon with the Stellar Range. The wines are assembled from different farms, ferments and yeasts. Each wine in the blend starts with deep colour and ripe fruit and tannins. Individual nuances arise from organic agriculture, saline irrigation water, cooling afternoon winds, wild ferments and other still-to-be-discovered influences. Lightly wooded for structure rather than flavour, these wines offer a tasting experience that will provide a convincing argument for the ascendancy of organic over conventional wines. (12 x 75 cl)
