Dessert Wines

Dessert wines

Cover a broad spectrum of styles which include sweet sparkling wines, late harvest and botrytised wines, ice wines, oxidized wines like a sherry and fortified port-style wines.

When pairing desserts and dessert wines, first choose which is more important: the dessert or the wine. Is there a must-have dessert, or do you want to serve a specific dessert wine?

Bottom line:

the wine should always be sweeter than the dessert, otherwise, the wine can taste dull and acidic.

For good wine pairings,

desserts should not be pure sugar-fests. Serve ultra sweet desserts with coffee or tea, chocolate or soft cheese.
