I just loved the terrible sweetness of this wine against my usual spicy fare. Also you don’t realize the elevated alcohol content of this late harvest wine until you have a very happy buzz from your meal.

Fantastic dessert wine! Paired it with sea salt chocolate for a delightful combination!

Although on the cordial side of sweetness, I've found with a Late Harvest Gertz that if you get a mix of fresh berries and pour this over them and put in the fridge overnight, I makes the best home made ice cream topping I've ever had!
