Château Dereszla, Henye Tokaji Aszu 6 Puttonyos, - 50cl 2017
Many of the world's great sweet whites come from Tokaj in Hungary, which for centuries was known as the "Wine of Kings, King of Wines". Château Dereszla is one of the region's most iconic producers and their Henye Tokaji Aszu 6 Puttonyos 2017, crafted from carefully selected botrytized grapes, showcases the exceptional terroir of the Henye vineyard. Puttonyos refers to the amount of residual sugar in the wine - the higher the better, ranging from 3 to 6 - though this is extra special, having been made from the revered Aszu grapes, reserved only for the greatest Tokaji, including the famous "Tokaji Eszencia". Expect an intricate bouquet of dried apricots, honey, and delicate floral notes, with a balanced acidity that complements its rich sweetness. This would pair beautifully with foie gras, blue cheese, or fruity desserts.
Château Guiraud 2020
The 2020 vintage shows all the hallmarks of top Guiraud: luscious layers of apricot, candied citrus, and honeyed tropical fruit, lifted by ginger spice and a streak of freshness that keeps everything poised. Rich and opulent, yet beautifully balanced, it’s a classic Sauternes that will reward both patience and indulgence. Founded in 1766, Château Guiraud has always gone its own way, proudly displaying its black label and earning Premier Grand Cru Classé status in 1855. Today it’s one of Sauternes’ great names, known for combining tradition with innovation.
