To drink: Alsace's sweetest most expensive wine style, Sélection des Grains Nobles, would go well with this but fortified Australian Muscat is good with chocolate:Campbells Rutherglen Muscat, £10.50-£11.55, Waitrose and Adnams Cellar & Kitchen. Wine details correct at original magazine publication date.
