Surprise yourself and go for a Port, a Senior Tawny Port to be precise. You will definitely require something with a bit of body for such a rich and creamy mixture of flavours, and enough delicate sweetness to accompany the chocolate. Tawny Port is a fortified wine that is held in wooden barrels exposed to air and evaporates quite a bit. As a result, the wine gradually mellows to a golden-brown colour, thus the wine has undergone most of its aging before bottling and does not benefit from further aging like Vintage Port. However it will keep for several years. Senior Tawny just spends more time in the barrel and is more elegant as a result with a subtle expression, a light colour and a range of flavours and aromas that are based on red fruit tones, perfect with the strawberries here.
