This week we look at three wines perfect for opening up after your main meal is done. The first is a Muscat which is under the vino-lok closure to make sure the wine is at its best. The next is a sweet white made in the style of the great French sauturnes. And it wouldn’t be a dessert wine special without looking at a brilliant fortified from Rutherglen.

In this episode we recommend:

• All Saints Rutherglen Muscat NV ($18-20)
• De Bortoli Noble One 2003 750ml ($45-50)
• Morris Old Premium Tawny Port NV ($45-50)
