These are the ideal pairing for Moscatel de Setúbal, since it is a great dessert wine. The key ingredient of this type of confectionery (the egg) added to the sugar creates a strong gustatory experience that the Portuguese know so well: a fusion that results in a creamy and rich sweetness. Only a Moscatel de Setúbal is a match for such intensity, softening and balancing these flavours with its natural acidity, an essential quality which is rare among fortified wines. This is the secret of Moscatel de Setúbal, which allows it to “handle” such a challenge. Who has never tried a Pastel de Nata [custard tart] with a Moscatel de Setúbal? If you can’t remember, it’s because you still haven’t tried it.
