Everyone should indulge a bit once in a while, we have picked out some of our favourite sweeties to treat yourself to. Classic Sauternes from famous Bordeaux negociants, Maison Sichel, the fabulous ports of Weisse & Krohn (particularly the rare and special Colheitas). A delicious Pineau des Charentes from Chateau D'Orignac, a sublime mixture of Cognac and grape juice from western France where it is a popular aperitif, we particularly like it with cake.The super, super sweet (450 grams per litre) Antique PX sherry from Fernando de Castilla must be one of the richest wines out there. The jury is still out but this may be the ultimate Christmas pudding wine.Or at the other end of the spectrum the Vermut (Vermouth) from the same sherry house is a delicious blend of aged and spiced Oloroso and PX sherry - dried fruit and nut flavours, sweet and sour elements and bitter wormwood. Tastes like Christmas pudding in a bottle, enjoy long with soda, or short in an Iberian themed Negroni. |
