2003 Woodstock Botrytised Sweet White , McLaren Vale, SA (half) £7.95br>
Scott Collett is a man mountain and this wine is, admittedly, the antithesis of his character. The thing is, his wife makes the greatest mulberry tart on the planet, so, bless him, he made something to go with it.

2003 d'Arenberg Noble Blend ,, McLaren Vale, SA (half) £12.99

2004 Yalumba Botrytised Viognier, Wrattonbully, SA (half) £12.99
I was very scared to taste this wine, as the downside is so steep, but it lifted my palate with angelic flavours and delivered a unique experience that is now the mark by which all others will be judged.

NV Campbells Classic Rutherglen Liqueur Muscat , Rutherglen, Vic (50cl) £13.99
If we had more serious Liqueur Muscats in the UK, there would undoubtedly be more in the 100. But we don’t, so I have chosen the best value and most impactful around. This is a spectacular wine, which will reward every one of your senses with a cornucopia of brazen flavours.
