Recommended wine: Madeira, Pedro Ximenez

Madeiran and Pedro Ximénez are great choices for Bread Pudding. Pedro Ximénez's sweet, nutty flavor with notes of figs and caramel pair so well with bread pudding. Madeiran is another option - you can even find recipes using madeiran in the bread pudding! The Herdade Do Esporao Verdelho with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.

Herdade Do Esporao Verdelho

The 2014 Verdelho has vibrant green, grassy aromas and tropical notes with hints of lime and grapefruit. On the palate this wine is fresh and elegant, with intense fruit and mineral notes leading to a long and persistent finish.
