Pairing Wines with Australian Cuisine
Australian cuisine is a vibrant and diverse culinary landscape, drawing inspiration from the country's rich cultural heritage and the abundance of fresh, local produce. Whether you're indulging in a classic Aussie barbecue, savoring the delicate flavors of seafood, or exploring the bold and spicy notes of native ingredients, the right wine pairing can truly elevate the dining experience.
At McLaren Vale Cellars, we understand the importance of finding the perfect wine to complement the flavors of your meal. Our team has spent countless hours researching and tasting the best wine pairings for a wide range of Australian dishes, ensuring that you can confidently select the ideal bottle to enhance your culinary journey.
Pairing Wines with Barbecue and Grilled Meats
When it comes to the quintessential Aussie barbecue, the bold and robust flavors of McLaren Vale Shiraz are a match made in heaven. The wine's rich, full-bodied character and notes of ripe dark fruit, spice, and subtle oak can effortlessly balance the smoky, charred notes of grilled meats. For a truly memorable pairing, we recommend trying our award-winning 2019 Shiraz, which boasts a complex and layered profile that will elevate your backyard barbecue to new heights.
Pairing Wines with Seafood and Coastal Cuisine
The pristine waters of the Southern Ocean provide an abundance of fresh, delicate seafood that is a staple of Australian cuisine. To complement the delicate flavors of dishes like grilled prawns, seared scallops, or a classic fish and chips, we suggest exploring the crisp, refreshing whites of McLaren Vale. Our 2021 Sauvignon Blanc, with its vibrant citrus and tropical fruit notes, or our 2020 Chardonnay, with its elegant balance of fruit and subtle oak, are both excellent choices that will bring out the best in your seafood-based meals.
Pairing Wines with Spicy and Aromatic Dishes
The diverse culinary influences that have shaped Australian cuisine have given rise to a wealth of bold, spicy, and aromatic dishes. From the fiery heat of a Thai-inspired curry to the fragrant notes of native herbs and spices, these flavors can be a challenge to pair with wine. However, at McLaren Vale Cellars, we have curated a selection of wines that can rise to the occasion.
Our 2018 Grenache, with its bright red fruit flavors and subtle spice notes, is an excellent choice to complement the complex layers of a Malaysian rendang or a fragrant Vietnamese pho. Alternatively, our 2020 Tempranillo, with its medium-bodied structure and hints of black pepper and dried herbs, can be the perfect foil for the bold flavors of a Szechuan-style stir-fry.
