WHAT'S COOKING, GOOD LOOKING?

One of the most frequently asked questions we get here at Sometimes Always is "what wine pairs best with...?". Our resident wine lover, Andrew Potter, provides his top pairing picks to compliment your culinary conquests.

“I love salt and pepper tofu. For, me its my go-to comfort food. This dish calls for something fresh and zesty, and I think an Off-Dry Riesling is an unlikely hero for this dish. This one by Alpha Box & Dice would be a  perfect choice. The subtle sweetness balances the salty, peppery kick of the tofu, and high acidity keeps things light and the palette cleansed.”

The Clare Valley might be the gold standard for dry Australian Riesling, but the Adelaide Hills shines for this for a cool climate, off-dry approach. A kiss of residual sugar blunts the razor-sharp edges of Riesling’s bright acidity. Fragrant citrus lifted by aromatic orange blossom and rounded out with a lemony finish. A place where phenolics, acidity and sweetness slip around the glass in perfect harmony.

“A beautifully charred steak and a bottle of wine is one of life’s great pairings. These bold flavours need a wine that can keep up. Enter this Sangiovese by Le Ragnaie …. Its medium body, dusty tannins and bright acidity cut through the richness of the steak, while those cherry and herb notes play off the tangy, garlicky chimichurri in the best way possible.”

Riccardo and Jennifer Campinoti are the young couple behind this exciting Tuscan winery in the south -facing central zone above Soldera di Case Basse. With some of the highest vines in Montalcino, this organically farmed, 100% Sangiovese provides the pure red-fruited, savoury excellence that the Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is renowned for.

“For this classic dish, think pink! A crisp, full bodied Rosé like Rainbow Juice from Gentle Folk would be a perfect match in my eyes. Pairing beautifully with the creamy dressing, bacon, parmesan shavings, crunchy bits and of course savoury chicken, offering a bright, fruity contrast to the bold flavours.”

Wine for drinking not thinking. But then again, it forces you to think, in its own special way. Is it a rosé? Is it an orange wine? You tell us. It’s an ever-changing blend of all (or most of) the Gentle Folk estate fruit. A taste of Adelaide Hills sunshine and rainbows. A breath of fresh air.

“Seafood Paella deserves something in the glass as vibrant as the dish itself. Albariño is your go-to here, this skinsy number from Moorak, with its citrusy freshness, minerality, stonefruit mid-palette and lovely chewy texture. All working in harmony with the seafood, saffron and smoky flavours of the paella. A new twist on an all time match.”

Moorak is making confident wines, with so much to be interested in. Here they've taken Albarino, a variety that has great natural acidity retention through its ripening phase (stay with us here) which makes it so ideal for a skin contact style. Puckeringly good, textural, bright and tropicana in its aromas.
