Alvarinho and seafood: The fresh and aromatic Alvarinho from Portugal's Vinho Verde region pairs perfectly with oysters, mussels and grilled fish. Its lively acidity and fruity notes complement the delicate flavours of seafood.
South African Chenin Blanc is not only a versatile wine that can complement a variety of dishes, but also a real treat on its own. Its multifaceted aromas and refreshing acidity make it an ideal companion for numerous culinary adventures.
Arinto and creamy dishes: Portuguese Arinto, especially from the Lisbon region, goes well with creamy pasta dishes or rich fish dishes such as cod in cream sauce. Its crisp acidity and mineral notes provide a perfect balance to the creamy textures.
Pinotage and red meat: The powerful and full-bodied Pinotage from South Africa, a unique grape variety that only thrives here, is the ideal accompaniment to grilled lamb or beef. Its deep, smoky and berry aromas perfectly complement the intense meat flavours.
Touriga Nacional and BBQ: A spicy Touriga Nacional from Portugal's Douro Valley is the perfect choice for BBQ ribs or spicy roasts. The ripe, dark fruit notes and subtle spice enhance the smoky and spicy flavours of the barbecue.
Dessert wines and sweet finishes: Our selection of Portuguese and South African dessert wines, such as a sweet Muscat or a noble sweet Chenin Blanc, is the perfect finish to any meal. These wines go well with fruit cakes, crème brûlée or a fine cheese platter. Their intense fruit aromas and fine acidity round off the taste experience. Port wines have long since lost their image as nightcap wines and are fantastic accompaniments to desserts or strong cheeses.
