Combining and mixing sensations, textures, and flavours to create an unexpected result, creating memorable and unique experiences.
This luscious Viognier, with its notes of blooming white flowers and ripe peaches, pairs harmoniously with roasted chicken with apricot glaze, allowing the wine’s velvety texture to shine.
Additionally, the hints of vanilla and stone fruit in the Viognier are wonderfully accentuated when coupled with a rich lobster bisque, delivering an explosion of creamy flavors that dance on the palate, making every bite and sip an indulgent symphony.
The refreshing zest of this Pinot Gris complements dishes like grilled sea bass with lemon herb dressing. Its bright citrus and green apple undertones uplift the dish, enhancing the freshness of the fish.
Paired with a zesty Caesar salad, the wine’s crisp nature shines through, intertwining with the tangy Caesar dressing to create a harmonious balance that both refreshes and satiates.
With its robust flavors of cherries and leather, the Sangiovese perfectly accompanies a slow-cooked beef ragu, allowing the wine’s complexity to meld seamlessly with the deep, savory notes of the sauce.
Additionally, when paired with a hearty mushroom risotto, the Sangiovese accentuates the earthy flavors, creating a gustatory experience where the creaminess of the risotto is elevated by the wine’s robust character and lingering finish.
Perfect with light and delicate food such as raw and lightly cooked shellfish like crab and prawns, steamed or grilled fish, fish pâtés, fish, chicken or vegetable terrines and pasta or risotto with spring vegetables.
Chardonnay also goes well with creamy vegetable soups, can take on sushi and sashimi or delicately spiced fish or salads, and is particularly good with oysters.
Pair with simple, barely seasoned ingredients such as raw and lightly cooked shellfish like oysters and shell-on prawns, fresh crab and simply grilled fish such as hake.
Sauvignon Blanc is also a good wine match with Japanese dishes such as sushi and sashimi, seafood-based steamed and fried dim sum and smoked salmon, particularly if the smoke is delicate.
Ideal with grilled or roast beef, especially served rare or with a pepper sauce. Serve with a braai, ribs, spicy sausages and smoked brisket in particular. Probably the best way to cook veggies if you’re looking for a vegetarian pairing. Big beefy stews such as ox cheek especially ones cooked in wine or with a touch of smoky spice like a chilli. Roast or grilled lamb, as well as venison.
Serve socially with strong hard cheeses, especially cheddar. With its sweetness it can also handle a mellow blue.
Chenin Blanc can suit almost anything with a creamy sauce – a good fish pie, for example, or chicken with a cream and mushroom sauce, richer fish dishes such as salmon en croute, scallops, lobster, roast chicken. roast pork belly, especially with apple sauce, roast root vegetables such as carrots, parsnips and sweet potatoes and roast butternut squash.
Pair this silky Pinot Noir with roast chicken or guineafowl (even with lots of garlic), or rack of lamb, served pink. Rare fillet steak and carpaccio, beef wellington, roast pork with herbs and fennel, chicken sausages, liver, sweetbreads, dishes with morels and other wild mushrooms, mushroom risotto, and roast or grillled lobster.
Grenache wines should be paired with poultry or pork, salmon, trout or barbecue.
While certain Grenache wines pair very well with Indian food and other types of spicy cuisine, overall, Grenache food pairings can be difficult to get right. That’s because Grenache tends to be low in acid and high in alcohol, with prominent tannins and oak flavours, all of which can overpower lighter dishes.
This widely-planted French white grape variety is common in blends from Bordeaux, California, and South Africa.
High levels of acidity and racy, tangy exotic fruit flavours are great with unfussy dishes, with perhaps none better than traditional fish and chips. With plenty of salt and vinegar, this is a tangy delight and the acidic wine will be on hand to clean your palate.
For a sensory delight, indulge in the captivating aromas of leather, game, and truffle found in our wines. Complemented by the palate-pleasing flavors of brambly berries, leathery textures, earthy notes, accented with hints of vanilla bean, and chocolate.
Pair these distinctive characteristics with culinary delights such as hearty game stews, slow-braised red meat dishes, succulent grilled red meat, or the richness of duck and goose. Each bite harmonizes with the complex flavors of our wines, creating an unforgettable dining experience.
Compared to most white wines, any red wine is bolder and more powerful on the palate, meaning that meat and fuller dishes are ideal.
This red blend will go perfectly with steak or lamb, as well as can complement meals from pasta to Mexican food.
