Let’s take a closer look at each wine and what to pair it with.
Compagniesdrift Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot
This Stellenbosch red is full-bodied, bold, and beautifully balanced. Think rich dark fruit, a hint of oak, and smooth tannins. This classic winter red pairs well with a hearty lamb shank. We love this recipe for red wine and rosemary lamb shanks.
The depth of flavour in our Compagniesdrift Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot complements the richness of the slow-cooked lamb. The rosemary ties in with the wine’s herbal notes, while the tender meat melts in your mouth, just like the soft finish of this blend.
Spider Pig Pinot Noir
Light in body, but packed with personality. This Elgin Pinot offers cherry, cranberry, and subtle spice. Fresh and smooth, the Spider Pig Pinot Noir is a food-friendly red that works across seasons. We recommend this wild mushroom risotto recipe for the perfect pairing.
Earthy mushrooms and creamy arborio rice create a lovely contrast to the vibrant fruit in this wine. The umami flavours in the risotto bring out the Pinot’s savoury side, while the acidity cuts through the richness of the dish.
Holden Manz Visionaire Bordeaux Blend
A robust blend with notes of blackcurrant, cocoa and spice. This Franschhoek red is elegant but packs enough structure to handle bold dishes. Traditional beef curry is the perfect pairing for the Holden Manz Visionaire blended red.
The wine’s dark fruit and peppery undertones pair perfectly with the warming spices of a slow-cooked beef curry. The tannins hold up beautifully to the richness of the meat and gravy, while the fruit notes mellow out the heat.
The Drift Estate “Off the Charts” Viognier
This aromatic white bursts with apricot, citrus, and ginger spice. Though often a summer favourite, Viognier is lovely in winter with rich, warming meals. Vegetarian curry with coconut milk and root vegetables is the perfect accompaniment to this floral white wine.
The Drift Estate Viognier‘s bold flavours stand up to the creamy coconut and complex spices of a good veggie curry. It highlights the sweetness of the carrots and butternut, while the spice echoes the Viognier’s own aromatic character.
Uva Mira Merlot
From the slopes of the Helderberg, this refined Merlot is layered with dark plum, mocha, and a soft, velvety mouthfeel. This light-bodied Merlot pairs perfectly with a spaghetti bolognese.
A midweek classic that deserves a good glass of wine. The savoury tomato and beef ragu pairs beautifully with this Merlot’s ripe fruit and earthy backbone. A dash of Parmesan brings it all together. Enjoy with a well deserved glass of Uva Mira Merlot.
Compagniesdrift Rosé
A lively rosé with strawberry, watermelon and floral hints. Though often sipped in summer, the Compagniesdrift Rosé shines with the right winter dish. We recommend a spicy chicken curry accompaniment as it brings a touch of heat, creaminess, and comfort. The gentle burn of the curry meets the wine’s refreshing acidity, while the fruity notes cool and complement the spice. A surprising, but delightful winter match.
