Good People. Great Wine.

Sweet, yes, but not intensely so, more a sweet apéritif sweet wine for blue cheese or ham. The botrytis gives the wine a drier character, while the honey element leads straight into citrus. 1 Note

Gold like Sauternes, with creamy aromas of hay and peaches. In essence, this is a quasi-dessert wine with thick pear and Mandarin orange flavors that ooze sweetness. And while good acids keep everything in check, it’s still hard to envision just with what one would drink it. 1 Note

Sweet apple flavors fill this deliciously aromatic, off-dry wine. With the apples come white currants, white peach and a touch of honey. A pleasure to drink. Screwcap. 1 Note

The beautifully perfumed Gros Manseng should, by rights, be as popular as Chardonnay. This medium-sweet wine is all apricots, pears and honey, with a delicious fresh waft of acidity. Screwcap. 1 Note

Tariquet's answer to late harvest wines, this fine, ripe wine, with its layers of sweetness and intense acidity, would be a great accompaniment to pâté and terrines. Made from the south-west's Gros Manseng grape, which many locals claim is the unsung white grape of the future, this is a pure, fruity but complex wine. 1 Note

Apples, cream, spice and nuts are all found in this white wine from the western Pyrenees in France. It has crispness, freshness, but also some weight, with ripe Gros Manseng, the local grape, giving open, generous flavors. Drink now. 1 Note

Made from the Gros Manseng grape, this pineapple and mango flavored wine is dry, but so fruity. The acidity just floats in the mouth, while the slight fruit-skin texture adds an edge to a wine that’s delicious. 1 Note

A rich, rounded wine that exudes opulence and ripe green fruits. There is a touch of pear skin spice, tobacco aromas and yellow fruits. The wine gives some crispness, but the richness dominates. 1 Note
