WINE PAIRING…BY SUZANNE REDMOND

Longview Epitome Late Harvest Riesling €16.99 now €13.99

This wine has a delightfully expressive nose of orange blossom, mango, and cumquats, with a honeyed undertone and faint aroma of lightly toasted hazelnuts.
The smooth velvety texture glides onto the palate bringing with it the orange blossom, peaches, Chinese lanterns and lightly honeyed mangos.
Although it may sound intensely sweet, the acidity cuts through it, leaving a beautifully balanced dessert/sweet wine that will work well with the light fresh mouse and the sweetness from the white chocolate.
