SOMMELIER TIPS
Explore the world of wine through these useful tips that'll help you taste wine like an expert.
TIP #1
There’s a wine for every dish
There's a wine to pair with every meal and it doesn't need to be a special occasion. There is a pairing for every dish, no matter how simple or sophisticated it is. It's all about creating different, unforgettable experiences using what's available to you.
TIP #2
Temperature matters
Temperature is fundamental when it comes to enjoying a wine to the full. Cool temperatures, in both whites and reds, allow us to appreciate the freshness and vibrancy of a wine. On the other hand, warmer temperatures might make the alcohol in the wine seem more prominent while taking away some of the wine's freshness and elegance.
TIP #3
A journey of the senses
Food and wine pairing is a true journey of the senses. Using the right combinations, we can achieve both unique and unforgettable experiences. This way, we can discover the maximum potential of each dish and each wine. The key is to be daring, as there's always a wine to try and a dish to be enjoyed.
TIP #4
The versatility of Rosé
Rosé is versatile by nature and ideal for pairing with a wide variety of food, from appetizers to main courses. Here, the serving temperature can make all the difference. A chilled Rosé will feel fresher and more vibrant and will be perfect to enjoy with a light appetizer. On the other hand, the same Rosé served at room temperature will have fuller body and its ripe fruit notes will become more evident, making it the perfect companion for a hot, more strongly flavoured dish.
TIP #5
The best pairing for red meat
When it comes to flavourful, fatty meat, the best pairing will be a red, full-bodied wine with notable tannins. The fat found in red meat will soften the tannins of the wine, generating a pleasant velvety sensation in the mouth. The acidity of the wine, on the other hand, will help to cleanse and refresh the palate, preparing us for the next bite.
TIP #6
Spicy or intense flavors
For very spicy or highly-flavoured dishes, a white wine with racy acidity, or even a slightly sweet wine will be the perfect accompaniment as these characteristics will balance intense flavours or reduce the spiciness of a dish.
