Wine Pairing with Steak Meals


Wine is a great accompaniment to steak meals. In fact, various wines taste much more refreshing when paired with steak. The secret is basic, to know which wine goes well with which dish. You can consider the following suggestions with grilled steaks.

Pair a traditional grilled steak with a full-bodied red wine, such as a Duck Pond, Syrah, Columbia Valley or Luke Donald Collection ‘Nappa Valley’. These wines when combined with simply grilled steaks create a lush, flavourful taste. Cline Zinfandel, California or Paraduxx, Napa Valley are also good choices.

Tip: Open the red wine bottle 20 minutes prior to your meal to enjoy the fully developed wine flavours.

Drink Rose wine with a steak adorned with barbecue sauce. A Lisa' Malbec, Patagonia, Argentina 2010 is a great wine to accompany red sauces. The high acid content in this red wine matches well with the high acid content in the barbequed steak. Joseph Phelps, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley and Joseph Phelps, Cabernet Sauvignon, are also good matches.

Accompany a spicy steak with a Royal Tokaji, 5 Puttonyos Aszù, Hungary 2007.

For a more enjoyable evening you can also add cheese cakes, raisin scones, finger chips and crispy salads to relish a complete steak meal.
