If you are looking to try some food and wine matching at home, above are a few suggestions for matching our Ka Tahi reds.
And if you want to try out some of your own, here are a few good tips to successful matching:
-
Match the flavour intensity of your wine with the flavour intensity of the food.
-
It’s better to match the wine with the sauce in your meal, than the meat.
-
The wine should be sweeter than the food you are pairing with.
-
The wine should be more acidic than the food you are pairing with.
-
Bitter wines (usually reds) are balanced out with fat.
