Pairing Strawberry Desserts With Slovenian Sparkling Wine

Pairing Strawberry delights with Slovenian Sparkling Wine.

From the country of love to a romantic strawberry treat, we have two Sparkling Wines and two strawberry delights to enjoy in this article.

Slovenia loves ‘love’, they even have it in their name, SLOVEnia, also their capital is called Ljubljana, which translates into ‘the loved one’, so I thought it was perfect to pair Slovenian Sparkling Wine with a fruit that is also associated with love.

Vinska Klet Mastnak & Strawberries

Vina Gjerkeš - Valvasor

Vinska Klet Mastnak – Valvasor

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Taste – “The Sparkling Wine adds peach flavours, cancelling out the strawberry and making it a chocolate peach experience.”

Strawberry & Waffles

Taste – “A longer display of flavours, initially white peach then onto sweet waffle.”

If you like peach, then I would definitely recommend you try this sparkling wine, it tastes just like an alcoholised peach.

Vina Gjerkeš & Strawberries

Vinska Klet Mastnak - Brut Rosé 2016

Vina Gjerkeš – Brut Rosé 2016

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Taste – “A dryer burst of raspberry flavours from the Sparkling Wine, that then mixes with the sweet dark chocolate.”

Strawberry & Waffles

Taste – “All the flavours seem to cancel out to leave sweet waffle.” 

None of the pairings were out of place, some enhanced the flavours and others cleaned the palate, both of the Slovenian Sparkling Wines performed elegantly with the strawberries.
