Sparkling · Light · Sweet
Asti's more refined sibling — gently frizzante, only 5-6% alcohol, all peach and orange blossom. The perfect summer dessert wine.
Why it works with Fruit Flan
Low-alcohol sparkling sweet — works with fruit, light cakes, and biscotti.
Dessert · Full · Sweet
Bordeaux's legendary sweet white — Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc hit by noble rot, then patiently fermented. Honey, apricot, candied citrus, and a finish that lasts a small eternity. Pair with foie gras, blue cheese, or a fruit tart.
Why it works with Fruit Flan
Sauternes is the dessert wine — honey, apricot, and acid with custards, fruit, and crème brûlée.
Fortified · Full · Sweet
Port aged in cask for years, taking on nutty, caramel, dried-fruit character. The 10-, 20-, 30-, and 40-year designations are the most reliable indicators of style.
Why it works with Fruit Flan
Tawny's caramel and nut notes mirror nutty, caramelized desserts.
Fortified · Full · Sweet
Port from a single declared year, aged in bottle for decades. Dense, structured, ageless; the pinnacle of fortified wine.
Why it works with Fruit Flan
Port handles richer, chocolate-and-toffee desserts with depth.
