There can be little doubt that Furmint's origins are Hungarian. First mention of the variety was as far back as the 16th century and the fact that there are differing forms of Furmint bearing the same DNA in Hungarian vineyards suggest that it has been present here for very many years. Furmint is the principal grape of the great sweet wines of Tokaji, the other being its progeny, Harslevelu. Furmint is a very high-quality grape, capable of producing intense, complex wines of great age-worthiness.

Pajzos Sparkling Tokaj , 75cl

A classicstyle of Sauternes. A perfect way to finish a meal.  A nose of citurs fruits with died fruit on the palate. Both rich and smooth in the mouth with a lasting sweet finish.

The island of Pantelleria is a curious, rugged volcanic outcrop, situated halfway between the Tunisian and Sicilian coasts, and it is here, in Italy's most southerly appellation, that this Passito Liquoroso is made. It's rather amazing, we think, that this beautiful, rich, baked apricot and marmalade-y dessert wine is made roughly 40 miles off the coast of Africa. But, being an island in a rather windy spot, it gets enough cooling maritime influence to balance the searing sun, resulting in a nuanced, balanced, but still brilliantly swarthy wine.

A beautiful amber colour with a prominent nose of apricot jam. The palate is rich and ripe with sweet velvety texture and flavours of dried fruits, apricots, figs, raisins. The finish has a lick of citrus to keep it fresh.

A Cypriot dessert wine made in the foothills Troodos mountains. A sweet, oaky and richly fruity dessert wine.

VilladoriaMoscato d’Asti is made from the White Canelli Moscato grape variety, a.k.a. Muscat blanc à Petits Grains.

Villadoria is located in Alba, the most important focal point of the Langhe, equidistant from Barbaresco and Barolo, on the right bank of the Tanaro River. A naturally sweet wine, with a gentle sparkle.
