Perfect Pairings
Wine and food, food and wine. There’s no better duo! With the chill of winter also comes the thrill of hosting. Whether it’s a fancy feast, a long Sunday lunch or a take-away treat, here's our guide to finding the perfect pair.
Yolk Semillon ⟡ Rich, full-flavoured cheeses
Rich, nutty and spiced, Yolk Semillon will drink a treat alongside any full-flavoured cheese. Reach for Europe's Alpine regions and serve with dried apricots.
MORE PERFECT PAIRS:
SLOW-COOKED VEAL SHANKS, SMOKED ALMONDS AND RUSSIAN HONEY CAKE.
Pâté ⟡ Pickled goods and pâté
Peppered with berries and silky tannins, Pâté Trousseau is designed for liberal pouring beside its namesake. Bright berry flavours in the wine will balance the richness in the dish so you can keep reaching back for more.
MORE PERFECT PAIRS:
LAMB TAGINE, CURED MEATS AND CONFIT DUCK.
Siren Fiano ⟡ Fish & Chips
Hot fish and chips, zesty acidity and a lovely salinity. With its splash of sea spray and peachy palate, a tall glass of Siren Fiano will see you through to the last chippie in the bag. Match made.
MORE PERFECT PAIRS:
LEMONY ROAST CHICKEN, CRAB LINGUINI AND GREEK SALAD.
Hercules Shiraz ⟡ Dry-Aged Rib Eye Steak
Sometimes we heed the classics. After all, they’re classics for a reason! Big, bold Shiraz belongs with flavours that can match its larger than life character. Velvety tannins will cut through a marbled rib eye, while the richness in the wine will compliment the flavours accentuated dry-ageing.
