Pairing Foods with Australian Red Wine
When pairing Australian red wines with food, a good rule of thumb is to match the wine's intensity with the dish's intensity. For instance, a rich and robust Barossa Valley Shiraz, known for its ripe fruit flavours and savoury undertones, pairs exceptionally well with smoky meats and barbecue dishes. On the other hand, the elegant and bright Pinot Noir from Tasmania's Tamar Valley, with its light body and deeply aromatic profile, complements dishes like grilled salmon or roast chicken. Similarly, the earthy Pinot Noir wines from the Geelong region can be beautifully paired with mushroom-based dishes or games. Always remember, the key to a successful pairing is to consider the wine's and dish's flavours and weight to create a harmonious balance.
