BBQ WINES

SIS,

WHAT ARE WE BRINGING TO THE BBQ

THIS HOLIDAY WKD?

Soooo many options!!

Things to consider: summer temperatures, patio vibes, and lots of different flavours coming off the grill!

Zinfandel is a grape variety that ripens unevenly; that means when it’s harvest time, you will find both tart and raisin-sweet berries in a grape bunch. This range can be tasted in the wine, from underripe cherry to sweet blackberry, often described as ‘bramble’.

It also has a great savory spice profile and sufficient tannins to give it the taste and body for grilled dishes. Depending on how you produce the wine, Zinfandel can be rich and textured or chilled, juicy and lifted.

You can find styles that lock into the spice and textural grip (Ridge Vineyards) or lean into the fruit and playful, lighter body (Martha Stoumen). Either way, these are crowd pleasers!
