Fortified, sweet and oxidative wines bring a different kind of pleasure: intensity, texture, savoury complexity or sweetness balanced by acidity. This collection covers bottles for cheese, dessert, aperitifs, slow sipping and food pairings that need more than a standard dry wine.

£120.90Sweet wines keep residual sugar, fortified wines have spirit added, and oxidative wines gain nutty, savoury complexity from controlled exposure to oxygen or ageing under flor or voile. Some bottles cross categories, but they are not interchangeable.
Try sweet wines with dessert, blue cheese or fruit-based dishes. Oxidative whites are excellent with Comte, nuts, mushrooms and rich sauces. Fortified wines can be aperitifs, digestifs or serious partners for cheese and chocolate.
