Know-How to Pair Wine with Food on Your Vineyard Auckland Tour

When taking a Vineyard Auckland tour, enrich your experience by learning the nuances of wine tasting. The taste of wine is enhanced if you pair it with a complimentary dish or you may drink wine while having tasteful delicacies. For example, you may select a wine that contains high acidity like the sauvignon blanc while tasting a cheesy dish. However, in case you want to increase the taste of cheese then you need a wine fitting to the taste. 

Some Guidelines How to Pair Wine with Food:

  • Combine Character and Intensity - Match a highly, flavourful dish with a flavourful wine.  On the contrary, a mild-tasting food should be combined with a mild wine.  Fish in lemon sauce goes well with pinot gris. While chalking out your Wine Tour New Zealand plan, take note of these small points so that you do not forget. 
  • Match the Weight - Weight does not mean kilos or pounds. When you have lighter food, you should have lighter style wine. Whereas, richer food should be paired with heavier-weight wine. For example, fish and poultry that are light go well with delicate wine. Meats, on the other hand, are heavier foods and are best complemented with full-bodied wines like shiraz. 
  • Bitter Tannins Matched with Heavier Foods - The skins of the grapes make a difference to the flavor of wines. Yet again, the barrels in which wine ages also create a difference in its flavor. The astringent flavor goes well with steak. For example, shiraz or cabernet sauvignon complement with meat exactly. 
  • Wine should be Sweet According to the Food - Sweet wines that have high contents of acidity complement well with rich foods. The acidity matches beautifully with the richness of your platter. 
  • Spicy Wine with Spicy Food - Spicy foods like chili peppers in India or Thai food can clash with the flavors of a wine. Therefore, picking a wine with a sweet and spicy flavor is well-matching. 

Wine has a great way of playing with the taste buds. You should know how to pair it with foods and the flavors can re-create a beautiful new food story.
