The right choice of which wine to pair with which dish is an art that combines knowledge of the aromas and flavours of the wines with an understanding of the ingredients and culinary techniques. That is why today we bring you some options about the wine pairing according to the type of meal.
CLASSIC PAIRING
Nothing beats the classic combination of a good mature, mature wine with red meat. For example, riojas or riberas such as a Semele are ideal for cuts of meat such as steak or chuletón. The richness of the wine’s tannins perfectly complements the juiciness of the meat, creating an unforgettable culinary experience.
REFRESHING PAIRING
White wines, especially wines like the famous Marina Alta or Finca Collado are excellent companions for fish and seafood dishes. Their freshness and balanced acidity enhance the delicate flavours of white fish such as cod or sole, as well as shellfish such as shrimps or scallops. They are also an excellent choice to drink on their own.
VERSATILE PAIRING
Rosé wine is a versatile choice that pairs well with a wide variety of Mediterranean dishes. From fresh salads to pasta with tomato sauce or gourmet pizzas, a light and fruity rosé such as Bodegas José Pariente’s Victoria adds a touch of freshness and liveliness, enhancing the flavours of these dishes.
EXQUISITE PAIRING
Sparkling wines, such as Roger de Flor Brut Nature, are the perfect choice to accompany aperitifs and desserts. Their refreshing effervescence and balanced sweetness complement both the savoury flavours of aperitifs and the sweet notes of desserts, creating an exquisite gastronomic experience.
INNOVATIVE PAIRING
Port wine is known for its rich and fruity taste, which makes it an excellent choice for pairing with strong cheeses, such as blue cheese or aged cheddar. In addition, its intense sweetness makes it perfect for accompanying decadent desserts such as dark chocolate or fruit cakes.
