Food Pairings
plan your dish
Merlot is a medium-bodied wine with a fruity and velvety texture that pairs well with a variety of foods. One classic pairing is with roasted or grilled meats, such as a juicy ribeye steak. The soft tannins in the Merlot complement the meat’s flavours, while the wine’s fruitiness helps to cut through the richness of the steak. Another option is to pair it with a hearty tomato-based pasta dish, such as spaghetti bolognese. The acidity in the wine balances the acidity in the tomatoes, while the fruity flavours of the Merlot complement the richness of the meat sauce. For a lighter option, try pairing Merlot with roasted vegetables or a mushroom-based dish, such as a mushroom risotto. The wine’s earthy notes complement the savoury flavours of the vegetables or mushrooms, resulting in a delicious and satisfying pairing.
