Verus Furmint is a wine with a
uniquely gentle bouquet, with hints
of quince, pear, green apple, peach,
lemon and lime. The wine has a
full-bodied flavor with a pleasant
freshness, it also ages well. A classic
apple- and herb-stuffed turkey would
be the perfect pairing, enabling the
wine to showcase its potential to
complement the most festive main
courses.
Finally, there’s a whole world of pairing
sweet wine with food. From desserts to
cheeses and spicy foods, many wine
enthusiasts still have a lot to discover.
Ice wine, also known as Eiswein, is a
sweet dessert wine made from grapes
that have been naturally frozen on the
vine. Inniskillin Gold Oak Aged Vidal
Icewine from Canada is one of the
best examples of the famous sweet
nectar.
When choosing wine for your meal,
try to also consider the weight
and texture of both the food and
the wine. Light-bodied wines tend
to go well with delicate dishes, while
heavier wines can complement richer
and more substantial foods. On the
other hand, contrasting flavors can
create interesting combinations.
Spicy or heavily seasoned dishes can
be beautifully balanced with a fruity
wine.
The luscious and decadent qualities
of ice wine make it an excellent
accompaniment to foie gras or
pâté. The wine’s sweetness and
acidity cut through the richness of the
dish, providing a pleasant contrast.
When you discover the world of food
and wine pairing, we encourage you to
delve deeper – the topics of this article
are only the beginning! Experiment
and don’t be afraid to fail. And don’t
worry, even professional sommeliers
and chefs aren’t a hundred percent
sure, until they try it themselves.
