Batič, Steyer, Puklavec Family Wines and PRA-VinO Čurin – Prapotnik, originating from the Prlekija vineyards. These are just some of the winegrowers who make up the rich selection of sweet wines of the House of Good Wine. Sweet wines, oftentimes also called the cream of the wines, are wines of special vintages, maturing and processing conditions.
You may have even heard the name ‘ladies’ wines’, which some people use because these wines contain the most residual sugar. The latter is often preferred by the fairer sex, but with the right choice of wine to pair with a dessert or to be a standalone conclusion of a fine gourmet dinner, you will surely also win over the male gourmets who appreciate the balance of flavours and the sophistication of an exquisite meal.
Sweet wines for sweet occasions
We usually drink sweet or predicate wines on their own, which means without any accompanying food. Thus, their flavour really steps to the fore and is not affected by the taste of food or other beverages.
The most common choice among sweet wines is yellow muscat, a Slovenian variety characterised by an intense golden yellow colour. Yellow muscat has a diverse range of aromas – from orange peel to dried apricots, figs, almonds and the sweet spiciness of nutmeg – and goes well with desserts of similar flavours.
The House of Good Wine offers a wide selection of sweet wines in terms of varieties (yellow muscat, traminer, furmint, sweet refosco and many more), aromas and producers (Prus, Edi Simčič, Steyer and others). The sweet wines on offer have 45 and more grams of sugar per litre and are an indispensable part of any culinary gathering – a must-have dessert accompaniment and often the last drink of the evening.
High-quality sweet wines are usually very prestigious and highly valued, as they can age for a long time and presuppose a special way of picking grapes. Sweet wines contain residual sugar, which is obtained in a natural way, and have a low tannin content compared to traditional wines.
Common questions
When to choose a sweet wine and how to serve it?
If we want to pair sweet wine with food, we usually combine it with desserts. The wine we drink with dessert must be at least as sweet as the food, otherwise the taste of the dessert predominates and creates a bitter aftertaste of wine on the palate. One of the rules also says that dessert should not be sweeter than wine!
Sweet wines are drunk in small glasses at the end of the meal so that the sugar in the wine does not spoil your appetite, and not before the meal. Sometimes the hosts decide to serve sweet wine on its own instead of dessert, and other times they pair the wine with dessert. Sweet wines should also be served at a suitable temperature (10 to 12 °C).
Which dishes pair best with sweet wine?
If you are ever in doubt about which wine to serve with which dessert, follow the basic recommendations. The Prekmurje layer pastry (gibanica) is served with traminer, raspberries or strawberries and cream pair well with sweet fruity sparkling wines, apple pie with sweet Rhine riesling, rich fruit desserts with muscat or sherry, while chocolate and aged cheese with noble mould should be served with port.
And when you have chosen the right sweet wine, do not forget about the wine that comes before it. The selection of wines that will accompany a gourmet dinner is just as important as the dishes themselves. Browse our wide selection on offer and enjoy the variety with which the House of Good Wine pampers you – so that you can then pamper your guests in the same outrageously good way.
