Our rhubarb is growing well now in spring so it's a treat to use it.
This dessert is too rich for our just released 2015 dessert wine. But if you still have some 2013 Silk Purse it has a similar palate weight needed to balance this dessert.
After all this food, dessert needs to be something miniscule and light, and it couldn't get much simpler than this.
Being young, fresh and light our new dessert wine is best with fresh fruit, such as strawberries, raspberries, mangos, passionfruit and stone fruits when they appear ~ great for summer and for Christmas time too!
Cheeses that work with it now are also required to be young and fresh, e.g. goat’s curd, or quark and ricotta with some lemon rind mixed through.
Added sugar in desserts can easily overpower this wine at this stage in its development. It's a keeper and will get richer bodied as it ages, when you'll be very well rewarded for your patience.
Who doesn't love splices of sorbet and ice cream!
Pisces people especially do, given they usually skip the main show and head straight for the dessert.
However even Pisces don’t do dreamt desserts...
