There are classic wine and food matches that rarely fail to deliver a memorable dining experience. They provide a match in terms of intensity, sweetness and flavours.
These ‘perfect matches’ include:
Food |
Wine |
Why |
Grilled Steak |
Cottage Block Cabernet Merlot | Rarer cuts of meat soften the tannic impression of full-flavoured red wines. |
Roasted Venison |
Corbans Private Bin Syrah | The rich and moderately strong flavoured venison responds well to the soft, rich, gamey flavours of the wine. |
Green-Lipped Mussels |
Corbans Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc | Delicate flavours and moderate acidity in the food and wine make this a great flavour and intensity match. |
Roast Chicken |
Corbans Private Bin Chardonnay | The wine’s rich texture matches that of the chicken. |
Thai King Prawns |
Corbans Private Bin Gewürztraminer | Assertive flavours and the hint of sweetness in the dish require a spicy wine. |
| Pork Fillet (with apple sauce) |
Corbans Homestead Pinot Gris | The touch of sweetness in the sauce pairs well with the fruit flavours of the Pinot Gris. |
These perfect matches are a great place to start with your own wine and food matching adventures.
