Red Wines: Bold Choices for the Main Course

When it’s time for the main event—think steaks, lamb, or hearty pasta—reach for a red wine. Shiraz, malbec, and pinot noir are all great options that can stand up to more intense flavours.

Here are some must-try reds:

  • Yalumba The Steeple Shiraz 2018: A rich and bold shiraz from Australia with dark fruit flavours and a spicy finish. It’s perfect for grilled meats or barbecue.
  • Catena Zapata Nicasia Malbec 2020: This Argentine malbec is smooth and luxurious, bursting with black cherry and plum notes. It’s great with roasted meats or a rich stew.
  • Joseph Drouhin Beaune 1er Cru Rouge Greves 2018: A classic Burgundy wine with subtle cherry and earthy flavours. This elegant pinot noir pairs beautifully with lighter meats like duck or pork.

For the best experience, serve your reds slightly cooler than room temperature (around 16-18°C). And if you’re unsure which red wine will go best with your meal, our wine concierge is always happy to help!

End with a Sweet Note

For dessert, why not serve a delicious sweet wine? It’s the perfect way to round off the evening, especially when paired with fruit tarts, chocolate, or cheese.

Graham's Six Grapes Quinta da Vila Velha Port or Tempos Vega Sicilia Tokaj-Oremus ASZU 5 Puttonyos 2014 can really add a luxurious touch to the end of your meal. The sweetness will complement desserts perfectly and leave your guests with a lasting impression.
