Description
The Project Z wines from Klein Zalze come from exceptional vineyard sites and give the winemakers free reign to experiment. The stunning Sweet Fortified NV doffs it’s cap to the traditional sweet wines of the Cape and is a multi vintage blend of Chenin, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier and Muscat that is fortified with a neutral grape spirit to retain sweetness. This is simply stunning with rich, candied citrus peel and dried apricots alongside caramel and some spice, all balanced by beautiful fresh acidity which prevents the wine from becoming cloying.
Klein Zalze have created a Solera style system whereby each year a small quanttity will be drawn off for bottlling and the barrels will be topped up with young wine to freshen the blend. Utterly delicious, more’ish and extremely limited.

2000 Tokaji Aszu Essencia ‘Imperium’, Chateau Dereszla
We are delighted to be one of the very few UK merchants to get our hands on this sensational Tokaji Aszu Essencia from Dereszla. Only produced in the very finest years, (made twice by Dereszla in the last 22 years), and now a defunct classification, this is a very rare slice of history in a bottle. Incredibly sweet yet with perfectly poised acidity, the wine has a complex apricot and seville orange marmalade fruit character mingled with spice and gingerbread notes. With an impressive 252 grams per litre of sugar it is no wonder the wine is syrupy and very rich, but the constant freshness provided by the acidity keeps the wine balanced and makes it a wonderful match to dark chocolate desserts, good quality cheeseboards and rich pates.

2022 Elyssium Black Muscat, Quady Winery
Muscat
Andrew Quady's change of career from making fireworks to making wine produced an explosion of its own kind when he created Essensia from the Orange Muscat grape. It was an instant success and until 1985 he could not make enough to satisfy demand. Now Quady is the foremost American winery specialising entirely in dessert wines and continues to win medals worldwide.The grapes were crushed, chilled and allowed to macerate, in order to extract the desired aromas and flavours. Fermentation was arrested with a neutral grape brandy. This arrested fermentation preserved the delicate aromas of the fresh, ripe grapes. The wine was then aged for three months in small French oak barrels. Elysium is a brilliant crimson purple colour with aromas of ripe berries, rose petals,strawberries and lychees. The vibrant acidity balances beautifully with the sweetness of this wine, making it very refreshing.
