Milk Mine Pie Slab: Spices and Red Wine
Start your tasting adventure with our Milk Mince Pie Slab, a toothsome blend of rich dark chocolate and the warm spices of traditional mince pies. Pair this festive delight with a robust red wine such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or a spicy Zinfandel. The bold flavours of the wine will complement the aromatic spices, creating a delightful dance on your palate.
Dark Chocolate Christmas Pudding Broken Slab: Port
A classic pairing, especially with dark chocolate, is a good quality Port wine. The sweetness and richness of the Port can complement the deep flavours of the dark chocolate and the Christmas pudding, creating a harmonious combination.
Panettone Slab & Artisanal Panettone Classico: Sweet Whites
Taste the sophistication of our Panettone Slab by pairing it with a sweet white wine such as a Riesling or a Moscato. The light and airy layers of panettone, enrobed in our finest chocolate, harmonise beautifully with the fruity and floral notes of these wines. The combination is a celebration of elegance and sweetness.
Festive Dark Chocolate Graham's 6 Grapes Port Truffle Selection: Ruby Port
This may seem like the obvious choice, but this will really complement the flavour of the port truffles. The fruity and full-bodied characteristics of Ruby Port can harmonise with the sweet and intense notes of the port-infused truffles. The wine's natural sweetness complements the chocolate, creating a luxurious tasting experience.
Dark Chocolate Cocoa Dusted Amarena Cherries: Dessert Wine
Consider a sweet dessert wine like a late-harvest Riesling or a Muscat. The wine's sweetness can balance the dark chocolate and enhance the overall sweetness of the cherries.
Dark Chocolate Half-Dipped Orange Slices: Earl Grey Tea
If you prefer a non-alcoholic option, Earl Grey tea can be an excellent choice. The bergamot notes in Earl Grey complement the citrusy profile of the orange slices, and the tea's mild astringency can balance the sweetness of the chocolate.
