Barbecue

May not only brings with it the promise of Summer (finally!) but two bank holidays in quick succession. And, as the next long weekend approaches, we’re daring to ask ourselves if the sun might stick around long enough to light the barbeque? Which then of course leads to the far more important question; what wines are we going to drink?

So, fire up the grill and settle in for some of our favourite pairings:

  1. Butterflied leg of lamb with a rich Rioja…

Bodega Lanzaga Rioja by Telmo Rodriguez

 

2. Skewered halloumi with a sophisticated Sauvignon Blanc…

Salt River Sauvignon Blanc 2022

 

3. Yoghurt marinated chicken kebabs with a full-bodied Chardonnay…

10X Chardonnay 2020 Mornington

4. Grilled sea bream with a crunchy Xynisteri…

Zambartas Single Vineyard Xynisteri

5. Ratatouille and a southern Rhône red blend…

Domaine La Garrigue Albert et Camille Vacqueyras

 

6. Pork Sausages and a youthful Cabernet Franc…

Thierry Germain Fruit Saumur Champigny

 

And hey, even if the sun isn’t shining, there’s nothing more British than tending to your charcoal with a brolly overhead and a drink in hand, so grab a corkscrew and enjoy.
