Sweet young things.

Dessert is the most important meal, right? Sure, some people don’t have a ‘sweet tooth’, but that’s the great thing about dessert - it doesn’t need to just be about pudding and icecream. Bitter chocolate based dishes a great option for those rare people who don’t want two desserts. Don’t be afraid of going beyond sweet wines here too - dessert is a massive category after all.

Muscat

Perfect match: Fruit Cake

It doesn’t need to be Muscat, as Topaque or sweet sherry also works. But the marvellous intensity of a fabulous Rutherglen Muscat deserves to be celebrated. The flavours of a great Aussie fruit cake are well suited to the unbelievable luscious power of great local fortified. In fact, these generous wines are probably the only thing that works with the dominance of this very rich dessert.

Moscato

Perfect match: The Aussie Pavlova

Moscato, at its best, is a lovely, lightly fruity sparkling wine of energy, acidity and vitality. Low in alcohol, high in refreshment, it is a perfect complement for a Pavlova. Moscato is not expensive, but a few more dollars go a long long way. Off-dry Riesling is also a viable alternative here, though be cautious the wine is not too sweet as it can taste cloying.
