Barefoot Wine has issued advice on the perfect wine pairing for Easter chocolate, to make the most of both indulgences.
The number-one American wine brand in Ireland has advised customers on what will go best with their favourite chocolate.
From milk, dark and white chocolate to salted caramel and orange-infused treats, the wine brand aims to go deeper into what flavours work well together, for maximum enjoyment this Easter Sunday.
Milk Chocolate
With milk chocolate, Barefoot recommends its Pink Moscato.
This rosé offers a combination of ripe red-fruit notes, mandarin orange, and raspberry tones. The vibrance of the wine will bring out the sweetness of the milk chocolate.
Dark Chocolate
Barefoot suggests the classic combination of dark chocolate and its Merlot.
The dark, fruity flavours of the red wine have a hint of smoky vanilla oak and black cherries. This combination gives it a luxurious flavour sensation, especially when paired with dark chocolate.
White Chocolate
The Barefoot Wine Chardonnay is the perfect companion to buttery white chocolate.
The vanilla and fruity flavours of the Chardonnay pair well with the sweetness of white chocolate. For extra depth to the pairing, opt for Barefoot Wine Buttery Chardonnay.
Salted Caramel Chocolate
For chocolate with a twist, like salted caramel, pair with an equally enticing wine. The blend of sweet and salty complements the Barefoot Moscato well.
This white wine contains notes of peach, ripe apricots and citrus, to make a lovely dessert wine. The flavour brings out the sweetness of the chocolate and caramel, letting the saltiness take centre stage.
Orange-Infused Chocolate
Zesty orange-infused chocolate calls for the fruity and crisp Barefoot Pinot Grigio.
The cool, light-bodied style of the wine will complement the strong flavours of the orange, rather than overpowering the flavour.
