Wine Tip
Riesling, Beerenauslese, 2011
Only the best Riesling grapes provide this sweet taste sensation. The wine bewitches with its fruity vitality and is the perfect accompaniment to full-flavored desserts. When chilled between 11 – 13°C/54°F the aromas unfold at their best.
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 190°C/ 375°F. Cut the chocolate and butter into small pieces and slowly melt in a double boiler (water bath) with the sugar.
