Fruits & light desserts
A fresh, fruity and gently sweet wine to extend the fruit without overwhelming its freshness.
The pairing
Why it
works.
Fresh fruit and light desserts generally call for a delicate wine. The goal isn’t to compete with the dessert, but to extend its fruit while keeping a fresh, light feel.
With citrus or very tart fruits, favour a lively acidity. Peaches, pears, melons and white-fleshed fruits prefer aromatic whites, while strawberries and other small berries can work very well with a fruity rosé or sparkling wine.
In practice
The lighter the dessert, the lighter the wine should be. Look for fruit, freshness and just enough sweetness so the wine doesn’t taste dry next to the dessert.

The LPV selection
Four bottles
for this dish.
A selection chosen from our bottle library based on their profile and affinity with this dish.
What to avoid
Tannic reds, powerful wines, heavily oaked or very high-alcohol wines. They would crush the fruit's freshness and make the pairing needlessly heavy.
When serving
Serve the wine at about 7–9 °C. A cool temperature highlights the fruit and keeps the pairing light to the last bite.
