Decadent Cardamom and Strawberry Sago Pots

Recipe by ElmarieCourse: sweet

“These little spheres of beauty and the fragrance of rosewater is synonymous with Woman’s Day for me. Polkadraai Pinot Noir Rosé is a seductive salmon-coloured sparkling wine – sweet and medium bodied with strawberry flavours and a hint of candy floss. The combination of this sparkling wine and the fragrant sago pots is thus a match made in heaven for all the wonderful ladies out there. I hope you enjoy this pairing and that you feel special. You deserve it!”
