However, I’ve been thinking of this sweet wine from Bordeaux a lot since seeing it on a Noble Rot menu paired with treacle tart. At this time of year, my top three bottles would be the mellow tawny port, with its flavours of caramel, nuts, raisins and orange rind (kept in the fridge, to pour chilled at the end of dinner or while wrapping presents) the sturdy warmth of an LBV or single-quinta vintage port (to sip by the fire with family) and a good sherry to drink with mince pies.įirst, a confession: I’m not the biggest sauternes drinker. I’ve always known how good port and other sweet and fortified wines are. Sweet and fortified wines haven’t been very fashionable for a while – but in June 2021, Majestic reported that port sales were hugely up, compared to the previous year, among buyers in their 20s and 30s.
