What it pairs with

  • Foie gras with brioche and sea salt
    The mineral tension and sweetness of this Aszú balance the richness of the foie gras.
  • Pears poached in red wine
    The wine's stone-fruit character and moderate sweetness complement the wine-poached pear.
  • Aged Gouda with candied pecans
    Nutty aged cheese and caramel-sweet wine find complementary texture and flavour.
