Dessert wine: sweetness, complexity and surprise
Sherry, Port, Tokaji and more hidden favourites
Dessert wine is a jewel that risks being forgotten. Here we celebrate dessert wine and taste different styles from different regions around Europe. Dessert wine can be made in many different ways, and we sort out production methods, grapes, wine history and what is best to eat with it.
The sweeter side of wine
Looking for something beyond the usual? The dessert wine tasting takes you on a journey through wine's sweeter world, where every glass is a discovery. We taste everything from France's elegant Sauternes, with honey and peach notes, to Portugal's full-bodied ports.
You learn how sweet wines are made, from late-harvested grapes to botrytis, also called noble rot. We talk about the best pairings of dessert wine and food, where creamy cheeses, chocolate and fruity desserts meet the wine's complex sweetness. This tasting is perfect for those who want to dive into an often forgotten but fascinating part of the wine world.
The many sides of dessert wine
Sherry
From Jerez in Spain. Can be anything from dry Fino to sweet Pedro Ximénez. Fantastic with cheese, nuts and tapas.
Port
Portugal's pride from the Douro Valley. Full-bodied, powerful and fruit-rich. A classic combination with chocolate and strong cheese.
Tokaji
Hungary's liquid gold. Honeyed, with botrytis that creates unique complexity. A perfect ending to a dinner.
Moscato d'Asti
Italy's lightest sweet wine. Lightly sparkling, fragrant and charming. Pleases everyone, a perfect entry wine.
Sauternes
France's classic dessert wine. Rich, complex and elegant with notes of honey, apricot and saffron.
Vin Santo
Tuscany's dried-grape wine. Nutty, sweet and perfect with cantucci. An Italian tradition in the glass.
Dessert wine and food - perfect pairings
