Recommended wine: Madeira, Tawny Port, Pedro Ximenez

Pecan Pie works really well with Madeira, Tawny Port, and Pedro Ximénez. Sweet, nutty pecan pie deserves a wine to match - these dessert wines all have the right sweetness and the nutty notes. You could try Herdade Do Esporao Verdelho. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating and a price of 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.
