  ‘Alta No. 10’ Ten-Year-Old Tawny Port, Quinta da Pedra Alta

  £2600

  Alta No.10 is an elegant, luscious, complex Tawny Port made in traditional granite lagars and aged in old casks.

  This is the first Ten-Year-Old produced on the estate and is a fitting tribute to the positive impact João has had on the estate since he started in 2009.

  As with all ports, blending is the key, and Pedra Alta uses a variety of aged parcels with different levels of sweetness and acidity, including a small proportion of some really old barrels (at least 40 years old). The aim is to deliver an elegant, complex Ten-Year-Old Tawny style where the sweetness takes a back seat, and the Pedra Alta acidity provides the focus.

  Serve slightly chilled as an aperitif and as a perfect accompaniment to chocolate desserts or strong cheese.

  Perfect to drink now, but will gain further complexity over the next 20+ years.

  Pedro Ximénez San Emilio Solera Familiar, Bodegas Lustau

  £2850

  The sherries of Lustau are iconic and represent the best of the best.   This Pedro Ximenez is one of our favourites.

  To make this wine Pedro Ximénez grapes are laid out in the sun after picking until they are practically raisins. After that the fermentation starts slowly and is halted to maintain all the natural sugars.  The resulting wine ages for 12 years in contact with the air in Jerez de la Frontera.

  In the glass it has a deep mahogany colour with iodine hues on the rim. The wine’s tears reflect its great density. Aromas of dried fruit (prunes, apricots, figs). The palate is very sweet, velvety and soft whistle being intense and flavoursome, An extremely long finish where sweet and roasted coffee flavours return.

  Serve at 10 – 12oC.  Serve with rich desserts, cakes and pastries, or pour over vanilla ice cream. Perfect companion to for strong blue cheeses. Ideal as a digestive.
