Originating in France, Syrah has become the most planted grapes in Australia, where it is more popularly known as Shiraz. A full-bodied red wine that has a flavour profile made up of blueberry, black plum, milk chocolate, tobacco, and green peppercorn, this variety has helped in making Australia one of the largest wine exporters in the world. The country’s climate has given this wine a meaty aroma while still retaining its big fruit flavours. Its full-bodied taste compliments roasted and grilled meats and seafood.
France is known for its long history with wine. One of its most famous wines are those made in the Bordeaux region, particularly its red blend which includes Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Red Bordeaux has distinct fruity flavours of black currant and plum with earthy undertones of graphite and a flowery hint of violets. Its dark and rich flavour makes it a perfect pair for meats and cheeses.
Prosecco is one of Italy’s most popular beverages. While it is often compared to Champagne, this sparkling white wine has a taste profile and quality that are exclusive to the Prosecco grapes used in making it. Its dry style is complemented by rich fruit flavours made up of green apple, honeydew melon, honeysuckle, and pear. Prosecco’s sweetness makes it an ideal pairing for salty cured meats and earthy fare like mushrooms.
As one of the oldest varieties of grapes, Tempranillo has an extensive history that adds character to its taste profile. The wine produced by these grapes has contrasting flavours of earthiness and fruitiness. The strong presence of cherries, plums, tomatoes, and figs give Tempranillo a savoury taste that is quickly followed by flavours of cedar, leather, and tobacco. Hints of vanilla and clove can be detected in its finish. This Spanish full-bodied red wine pairs well with roasted vegetables and grilled meats.
