TO match my ever growing sweet tooth and love of puddings I couldn't resist a rich velvety dessert wine – so plumped for Elysium Black Muscat, produced by the award-winning Quady winery, which specialises solely in desert wine that includes this rare black skinned Muscat.
Heaven, as Elysium was known in Greek mythology, is not far away when you team this wonderful dessert wine with a chocolate treat.
We’ve chosen a classic dark chocolate soufflé to pair with the wines litchi and rose aromas and berry flavours – together the two are sublime. If you are not a pudding fan, this after dinner treat will also still stand up against cheese. Why not try it with a piece of Garstang Blue?
Serve cold in small measures for maximum enjoyment.
Available from Majestic Wine for £12.49 for a 375ml bottle, or buy two and save £5.
