Pairing Australian Fortified Wines with Delicious Desserts

In the world of wine and desserts, few combinations are as delightful and harmonious as fortified wines paired with delectable sweet treats. Liberty Liquor, your premier destination for all things wine and beer, invites you to discuss the art of pairing fortified wines with desserts. From the rich and complex flavours of Sherry to other fortified treasures, we aim to showcase the versatility and richness of these wines, offering practical tips for creating perfect dessert pairings.

Discovering the Richness of Fortified Wines

Western Australia is home to a variety of fortified wines, including the renowned Sherry. Sherry, with its diverse styles ranging from bone-dry Fino to lusciously sweet Pedro Ximenez, offers a range of flavours that can complement a huge variety of desserts.

Practical Tips for Perfect Food Pairings

Complementing Sweet with Sweet

When pairing fortified wines with desserts, consider the sweetness level. For a sweet dessert, opt for a sweeter fortified wine to ensure the pairing is harmonious. For example, a rich and luscious Pedro Ximenez Sherry pairs beautifully with chocolate desserts.

Balancing Intensity

Consider the intensity of both the fortified wine and the dessert for the best food pairings. A robust and full bodied Sherry can stand up to the richness of a caramelised, nutty dessert. Lighter fortified wines, like a Fino or Amontillado, work well with lighter, fruit driven desserts.

Playing with Contrasts

Experiment with contrasting flavours to create a dynamic pairing. A crisp and dry Fino Sherry can provide a refreshing contrast to the richness of a creamy cheesecake, creating a balance that enhances both the wine and the dessert.
