Do you know how to enjoy a sweet wine?

The production of sweet wine begins with the selection of grapes, which are harvested later than usual to develop an optimal concentration of natural sugars and complex aromas. This technique not only reinforces their sweetness, but also intensifies their characteristic floral and fruity notes. Once harvested, the grapes are delicately pressed to extract a rich, sweet must. This must ferments at controlled temperatures to preserve its delicate aromas and natural balance of sweetness and acidity. The wine is then aged, often in oak barrels, to add depth and complexity, resulting in a drink with remarkable aging potential.

To serve a sweet wine correctly, it is essential to chill it properly. It is recommended to serve it chilled, between 8ºC and 12ºC, to bring out its aromas and flavours without the sweetness being overwhelming. Chilling the wine helps to maintain a perfect balance between acidity and sweetness, allowing you to enjoy all its subtleties. Accompany it with suitable glasses, preferably white wine glasses, which allow the aromas to concentrate towards the nose.

The perfect pairing for sweet wine includes a variety of desserts and savory dishes. This wine complements the rich flavors and creamy textures of fruit tarts, crème brûlée, blue cheeses such as Roquefort, and the smoothness of foie gras. Its natural sweetness and balanced acidity make it the ideal companion for these dishes, enhancing each bite with its unique flavor.

For true wine aficionados, when serving sweet wine, be sure to use glasses that are slightly smaller than those used for dry wines. This allows for a better appreciation of the concentrated aromas. Additionally, letting the wine rest for a few minutes after serving can help the aromas and flavors to fully develop.
