Pairing Exploration
Embark on a global culinary adventure where fine wines, diverse cuisines and bold creativity unite in perfect harmony: delve into the art of food and wine pairing for an elevated sensory experience. With a new self-guided pairing experience, attendees can experiment with varietals like Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Shiraz, each matched with complementary foods based on flavour profiles.
Sauvignon Blanc
Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant and aromatic white wine varietal. It typically exhibits flavours of green apple, lime, passion fruit and gooseberry. The wine often features distinctive herbal and grassy notes, including those of bell pepper and freshly cut grass, which contribute to its refreshing character. Many expressions, particularly those from cooler climates, display a flinty or mineral quality that adds complexity.
When pairing Sauvignon Blanc with umami-rich foods, the wine's bright acidity and herbal notes create an excellent balance with savoury richness. Additionally, its mineral character enhances the freshness and flavour of umami foods.
Chardonnay
Chardonnay stands as one of the world's most celebrated and adaptable white wine varietals. Its expressions vary significantly based on climate, vineyard management and winemaking approaches. This noble grape typically displays flavours of apple, pear, citrus and tropical fruits like pineapple and mango. When aged in oak barrels, it develops enticing notes of vanilla, butter and toast, contributing to its depth and sophistication. The wine presents balanced acidity, ranging from crisp and vibrant to smooth and luxurious.
When matching Chardonnay with sour dishes, the wine's natural acidity creates a harmonious balance. Choose lightly oaked versions to provide a creamy counterpoint to tart flavours, or select unoaked expressions to enhance and brighten the dish's natural acidity.
Merlot
Merlot ranks among the world's most cultivated red wine varietals, celebrated for its silky texture and welcoming character. This noble grape presents classic flavours of red fruits — cherry, plum and raspberry — often layered with darker notes of blackberry and cassis. Distinguished by its softer tannins compared to other red wines, Merlot offers exceptional drinkability. Regional expressions may reveal hints of cocoa, Mediterranean herbs and subtle earthiness.
When matching Merlot with sweet dishes, the wine's natural fruit character creates a harmonious balance. Its gentle tannin structure complements rich, fruity dishes while maintaining an elegant texture and depth.
Shiraz
Shiraz, known as Syrah in France, emerges as a powerful, full-bodied red wine with roots in the Rhône Valley. This distinguished varietal has flourished globally, particularly in Australia, where it achieves remarkable depth and sophistication. Classic expressions reveal intense dark fruits — blackberry, plum and blueberry — layered with distinctive spice notes of black pepper, clove and liquorice. Built on a foundation of moderate to high tannins, Shiraz delivers impressive structure and rich texture. Oak aging introduces additional complexity through notes of vanilla, dark chocolate and subtle smoke.
When matching Shiraz with spicy foods, the wine's bold fruit character and generous body create a perfect balance with heat-driven dishes. Australian expressions, with their plush fruit and natural acidity, particularly excel at taming fiery flavours.
Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon stands as one of the world's most prestigious and recognised red varietals, celebrated for its commanding presence and structural integrity. This noble grape presents intense dark fruit characteristics — cassis, blackberry and black cherry — supported by firm, sophisticated tannins that entail exceptional ageing potential. In cooler climates, it develops complex herbaceous notes of green bell pepper, fresh mint and forest floor. Oak maturation introduces refined elements of vanilla, cedar and baking spices, adding remarkable depth.
When matching Cabernet Sauvignon with salt-forward dishes, a beautiful balance emerges. The wine's powerful structure and bold fruity notes complement savoury elements, while the salt gracefully softens its firm tannins, creating perfect harmony.
