Wine and food pairing is an art that enhances both the flavors of your meal and the wine you choose to accompany it. At Louisburg Cider Mill, we’re proud to offer a collection of wines that celebrate the rich and vibrant flavors of fruit. Whether you're planning a dinner party or a cozy evening at home, here are some delicious pairing ideas for our wines.
Apple Wine
Our classic Apple Wine is crisp and refreshing, with a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. It’s a versatile wine that pairs beautifully with:
Cheddar cheese: The sharpness of cheddar complements the sweet and tart notes of apple.
Roast pork: A classic pairing, as the flavors of the wine highlight the natural sweetness of the pork.
Apple pie: For a sweet-on-sweet experience, serve this wine alongside a slice of warm apple pie.
Apple Raspberry Wine
Bright and fruity, our Apple Raspberry Wine is a delightful blend of sweet apple and tangy raspberry flavors. Pair it with:
Dark chocolate: The tart raspberry notes contrast beautifully with the richness of dark chocolate.
Goat cheese salad: The wine’s acidity cuts through the creaminess of the cheese, creating a harmonious balance.
Grilled salmon: The fruity flavors enhance the natural richness of the fish.
Peach Wine
Peach Wine
Our Peach Wine is like summer in a bottle, offering juicy peach aromas and a light, sweet finish. Try it with:
Spicy dishes: The sweetness of the wine cools down the heat of spicy cuisine, such as Thai or Indian dishes.
Brie cheese: Creamy brie pairs wonderfully with the lush fruitiness of peach.
Peach cobbler: Double down on the peach for a dessert pairing that’s truly irresistible.
Elderberry Dry Wine
Sophisticated and bold, our Elderberry Dry Wine has earthy and slightly tart notes, making it a great choice for savory dishes. Pair it with:
Grilled steak: The robust flavors of the wine stand up to the richness of a well-seasoned steak.
Aged gouda: The nutty, complex flavors of aged gouda complement the wine’s depth.
Wild mushroom risotto: The earthy tones of the wine harmonize beautifully with the umami of mushrooms.
Elderberry Semi-Sweet Wine
With a touch of sweetness and the same earthy undertones as its dry counterpart, our Elderberry Semi-Sweet Wine strikes a perfect balance. Pair it with:
BBQ ribs: The wine’s subtle sweetness enhances the smoky, tangy flavors of barbecue.
Blue cheese: The sweetness balances the bold, salty character of blue cheese.
Berry desserts: Try it with a mixed berry tart or blackberry cobbler for a dessert pairing that wows.
