Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Moscato Dasti, Port

Cream Sherry, Moscato d'Asti, and Port are great choices for Pavlova. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. You could try NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry. Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 19 dollars per bottle.
