Here’s a match made in heaven. Just look at the ingredients of this dense, chewy panforte: figs, nuts, honey, spices, ginger… you could well be describing the complex flavours of a Rutherglen tokay. The Rutherglen producers have developed a four-tier classification of style and quality for their fortified wines – basic Rutherglen, Classic, Grand and the impossibly rich Rare. All Saints Estate not only cover the entire range, but go one better with their Museum wine (the perfect present for someone you really, really love). It’s like having a volume knob that goes to eleven. – Max Allen
Shared notes of honey, spices and roasted nuts makes this pair a sensational grand finale for any celebration.
