When pairing food and wine, it’s worth considering not only flavor but also structure, texture, and the overall mouthfeel. Dark chocolate truffles with nut butter and berries offer a rich, layered indulgence—bittersweet, fruity, and spiced—that finds balance with the bold yet velvety character of Shelter Malbec. The wine’s notes of blackberry, plum, chocolate, and cracked pepper echo the dessert’s depth, creating harmony between sweetness and tannin, freshness and richness.
