Wine with desserts
South African wines are an excellent accompaniment to desserts. The variety ranges from fine sweet wines to delicious sparkling wines. The legendary Vin de Constance, a Muscat wine with a rich, fruity flavour, is particularly recommended. The Cap Classique (MCC), South Africa's answer to champagne, provides a sparkling flavour. These wines harmonise perfectly with desserts such as cheese platters, fruity cakes or chocolate creations. Discover the sweet side of South Africa and enrich your dessert selection with these exquisite wines.
