Dessert wines are sweet wines typically enjoyed after a meal to complement desserts or as a treat on their own. They come in a variety of styles, from rich and luscious to light and fruity. Common types include late-harvest wines, ice wines, and fortified wines such as port and sherry. Dessert wines are known for their higher sugar content, balanced by acidity to prevent them from being overly cloying. These wines pair beautifully with cakes, pastries, fruit-based desserts, and cheeses, enhancing the flavours of the dish. Whether enjoyed chilled or slightly warmed, dessert wines offer a delightful way to end any dining experience.
