Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and nothing delights the palate more than wine and chocolate. So why not charm your partner with a bottle of 2009 Sacred Hill HALO Pinot Noir and an enchanting box of their favourite chocolates. When pairing wine with chocolate, the wine should be as sweet as if a not a bit sweeter than the chocolate. The powerful yet elegant palate of red fruits and spicy notes from the 2009 Pinot Noir matches up perfectly with dark chocolate.
And if you’re looking for a match made in food and wine heaven melt a block of dark chocolate, grab a punnet of fresh strawberries, dip each of the strawberries in the chocolate and place on some wax baking paper. Put in fridge for 15mins or until they harden.
A taste sensation especially for your Valentine!
2009 Sacred Hill Pinot Noir is available in premium wine outlets, restaurants and bars throughout NZ. RRP $24.99.
