The Allure
Luscious, intensely decadent, and dripping with rare cool climate luxury. While the uninitiated automatically look to classic Sauternes or mass market dessert wines, the discerning collector turns their eyes to the cutting edge frontier of English sweet winemaking. Schönburger  an aromatic powerhouse grape, is hard enough to find as a dry style, but letting it hang into late autumn to craft a concentrated dessert nectar is a stroke of absolute boutique genius. Masterminded by the fiercely independent Robinson sisters on their sun trapped family farm in North Norfolk, this Late Harvest release throws out the traditional rulebook, offering an exquisite, honeyed indulgence that perfectly marries rich, opulent weight with the bracing freshness unique to the English coast.
Why It’s Exceptional

• The Taste: A gorgeous, luminous golden amber pour that instantly flags its rich concentration. The nose is a breathtakingly intense, exotic sensory experience erupting from the glass with luscious aromas of ripe apricot, concentrated lychee, and orange marmalade, beautifully framed by delicate hints of honeyed ginger and white rose petals. On the palate, it delivers a beautifully soft, velvety, and mouth filling volume; a deep, luxurious sweetness is masterfully balanced by a clean, vibrant spine of maritime acidity that keeps the entire frame impeccably bright and lingering.
• The Pedigree: 100% estate grown Schönburger meticulously selected from the family’s south facing blocks in North Creake. Rooted just four miles from the sea in free draining flint soils layered directly over a solid chalk stream bedrock, the vines are left to hang late into the season to achieve a rare, optimal sugar concentration. Handled with minimal intervention to guarantee total varietal precision, the naturally concentrated juice undergoes a careful, slow fermentation to balance rich residual sweetness against the grape’s signature aromatic complexity.
• The Ritual: A magnificent, celebratory showpiece designed to crown a fine meal or stand alone as a liquid dessert. Keep it beautifully chilled (8–10°C) to allow its opulent tropical and honeyed stone fruit layers to seamlessly harmonize. While it acts as a sublime standalone luxury for fireside sipping, its precise structure makes it an elite gastronomic match for blue veined cheeses like Stilton, a rich fruit tart, almond based pastries, or decadent foie gras.
