Dessert art for wine and food lovers

Wine with food means the successful combination of individual dessert art and authentically matched wine, creating moments of pleasure at the highest level. The Tarta de Peras al Vino Tinto combines fine pears poached in spicy red wine syrup with a crispy tart base and subtle nutty notes to create a sophisticated, aromatic dessert – perfect for special occasions and autumnal cuisine. The pears take on the ruby red color and spicy accents of Rioja, exude an elegant, sweet-tart aroma and harmonize with cinnamon, cloves and citrus. Wine and food become a sophisticated unit here, in which fruit, spice, caramel and fine roasted aromas interact. The tart is easy to prepare, remains succulent for a long time and provides an atmospheric end to any meal.

Ideal wine pairing: Rioja DOCa Tinto Dulce (sweet Tempranillo, Rioja, Spain)

The perfect wine to accompany the Tarta de Peras al Vino Tinto is a Rioja DOCa Tinto Dulce. This rare, sweet Tempranillo-based red wine reflects the fruit and spicy components of the tart – velvety berry notes underline the poached pears, mild tannins pick up the caramel and roasted aromas, while vanilla and fine, elegant spice correspond with the cinnamon and cloves of the dessert. Its moderate acidity provides balance, underlines the fresh mouthfeel and offers a perfect enjoyment experience in the glass. The harmonious interplay of aroma density, depth and sweetness creates a combination that unites dessert and wine into a total work of art.
