• Chorus Muscat Moelleux NV Very fine, ripe dessert wine with a sultry, soft, mouth-watering structure. It has beautifully retained its freshness, a dashing nose and typical Muscat character. Lots of juice and sufficient acidity. The wine is made from 'Late harvest' grapes, hand-selected. The grapes are dried on the vine, just like Spätlese and Auslese, the fermentation is controlled and stopped in time, so that the residual sugar determines the sweetness of the wine. Made from 100% Muscat Petit Grains , also called ' Muscat de Frontignan '. In Italy you will find it as the ' Moscato '.

• Chardonnay Beerenauslese: Freshly sweet, mild with an impressive depth of taste and a nice contrast of fresh fruit acids. The exotic scents in this wine are complemented by nuances of honey and ripe apricot. The beautiful, fine acidity provides elegance and freshness. Made from 100% Chardonnay .
  
  Story behind the label: Beerenauslese literally means 'Berries (grapes) selection'. Because the grape bunches have been allowed to remain on the vine for a long time, many Chardonnay grapes are overripe. Where for 'Auslese' the unripe grapes are removed from the grape bunches, for Beerenauslese the ripest grapes are removed from the bunches to be fermented separately into this special quality wine.
• Sweet and Fortified Wines - Ripe, sweet . Golden yellow color. Classic penetrating notes (yellow fruit, rhubarb, exotic) in the nose also floral in character. In the mouth: spicy, concentrated, rather notes of dried fruit (apricots, exotic fruit), honey notes, and also spicy in character. According to the winemaker himself, the distinguishing point is its relatively high, lively acidity which provides the fresh notes and longer shelf life.
• Our sommeliers advise: Nice combination with fried foie gras and hard cheeses with compote, blue cheeses. Also a perfect combination with warm preparations of chocolate and creamy desserts with nuts.
