Tarte Tatin is a rich and indulgent dessert that doesn’t skimp on fat or sugar. As a rule of thumb, if you choose a wine that’s too light, the dessert will overpower it. The wine should have flavors reminiscent of caramelized sugar and ripe fruit that complement the dessert itself. A reliable pairing that often works with Tarte Tatin is a Trockenbeerenauslese wine (TBA) from Austria or Germany, with over 200 g/l of sugar and an aromatic profile enhanced by noble rot.
There are other interesting options from the wine world as well: the South African Stellar Heaven on Earth wine also has enough residual sugar and richness. A slightly lighter option is
Golser Beerenauslese.
