What it pairs with

  • Blue cheese and honeycomb
    Honey and floral notes bridge into the cheese's savoury complexity.
  • Crème brûlée
    Custard richness and caramel echo the wine's butterscotch and dried-fruit notes.
  • Duck liver pâté
    The wine's acidity cuts the fat while the sweetness complements the richness.
