Full Bodied Wine: Bold, Rich & Built to Impress - Reds, Whites & More

That richness often comes from a combination of ripe fruit, oak ageing, and grape varieties with naturally thick skins. The result is a wine that demands attention and rewards it with layers of flavour that unfold with every sip.

Full Bodied Wines by Colour

Full Bodied Red Wine

This is where full bodied wines truly shine. Our full bodied red wines include powerhouses like Cabernet Sauvignon with its dark fruit and firm tannins, rich and spicy Australian Shiraz, velvety Malbec, and bold Durif. These are the wines built for steak night, slow-braised lamb, and hard cheeses. Many also have serious ageing potential, developing even more complexity in the cellar over time.

Full Bodied White Wine

Full bodied whites are often a surprise for people who think white wine is always light and crisp. Our full bodied white wines feature oak-aged Chardonnay with its creamy texture and notes of stone fruit and toasted brioche, aromatic Viognier with peach and honeysuckle, and rich aged Semillon. These are whites with real substance, perfect for roast chicken, creamy pasta, or lobster.

How to Enjoy Full Bodied Wines

Full bodied reds benefit from being served just below room temperature, around 16 to 18 degrees Celsius, and bigger, more tannic bottles can open up beautifully with 30 minutes of decanting. Full bodied whites should be served a touch warmer than lighter whites, around 10 to 13 degrees, so their rich flavours and oak-driven complexity can really express themselves.

Food Pairing Ideas

Matching full bodied wines with food is simple: go bold. The high tannin in these reds loves fat and protein, which is why a Cabernet Sauvignon with a well-marbled steak is one of the great classic pairings. Shiraz thrives alongside BBQ ribs, spiced sausages, and slow-cooked brisket. For full bodied whites, think roast pork belly, creamy mushroom risotto, or a rich fish pie.

The golden rule is to match the weight of the wine to the weight of the dish. Full flavoured food, full bodied wine, outstanding results.
