Wine

Port, Sherry & Dessert

Port, Sherry, Madeira, and the sweet wines built for the end of the meal.

The grand finale. Port for the cheese board and the fireside, Sherry that runs from bone-dry fino to walnut-rich oloroso, plus Madeira and the late-harvest sweet wines built for pudding. These are the bottles that keep for weeks once opened, ready for a small glass whenever the mood strikes. Old-fashioned in the very best sense, and badly overlooked. End the meal here.
