This recipe will give you a festive tasting desert wine that will go fabulously with your festive cheeseboard or as an alternative to traditional mulled wine, with only 3 ingredients it is suitable for the beginner brewer and will impress your guests! Look out for the term Spätlese if sticking to German Riesling (as this indicates it’s on the lighter end of the sweet Riesling scale), or try something a little different with Belmonte Marlborough Botrytised Riesling.

Sweet wine and sweet food pairings can easily be off-key if you don’t get the balance right, so choosing your moment to serve a super sweet wine requires more thought than if you were serving a lighter wine. The goal is to balance your chosen dessert’s flavours, sweetness and textures with your wine – you want them to get along and complement each other.Ice wine should also have good acidity to prevent them being too sweet and to help them pair well with most puddings. Lemon tart is not the easiest to pair with wine as not only do you need to match the sweetness but also the tangy citrus flavours. There are no hard and fast rules for wine at this time of year as we tend to eat such a wide range of foods that it is difficult to find wines to complement all of the different flavours. Please note, we are currently only able to deliver to UK addresses, including Northern Ireland and British Isles of Jersey and Guernsey. So, pour a glass to sip alongside a slice of traditional German Christmas Stollen or marzipan-coated Christmas Cake.

If you opt for Port, choose a nutty Tawny like Andresen Royal Choice 20-Year-Old Tawny Port – one of the best wines for Christmas pudding to try this year. They use their inventive instincts and sense of creativity to push boundaries whilst aiming for the best possible quality in all that they do. Crisp, fragrant and full of fruity flavours, Sparkling Moscato (the Italian name for Muscat Blanc) is a great texture contrast with rich Christmas Pudding.Muscat is also a natural partner to chocolate puddings, so the next time you whip up a chocolate fondant, reach for a glass of sweet muscat to go with it.

Any instances of goods being delivered below expectations, such as broken bottles, should be reported immediately on arrival but within 7 days, upon which we will issue a refund for the damaged bottles. These are super sweet wines made from grapes that were left to freeze on the vine during the winter months (hence the name). Look out for a Late Harvest Riesling, like a German Beerenauslese or head to New Zealand for the trophy-winning Seifried Estate Sweet Agnes Riesling 2019.Notes of apricot and candy floss make it a top choice for tropical fruit desserts like banoffee pie or pineapple cake.
