A few wine tips for pairing with a barbecue

The choice of wine with a barbecue is made in compliance with certain criteria. At first glance, wine selection takes into account the type of meat . To choose a wine to enjoy with a barbecue, first evaluate the ingredients that make up the dish in question.

Once the dominance of the grill has been analyzed, it is time to select a suitable wine to sublimate it.

Which wine for red meat?

Meat with a strong character like beef is known as red meat. Rosemary and thyme are its star ingredients and these give it a spicy tone. So choosing a red wine with powerful tannins would work best with this type of meat.

Therefore, the prime rib should be served with structured wines with aromas of red and black fruits . In addition, let yourself be carried away by the flavors of a wine with woody notes, which will not fade in front of such a meaty piece of meat.

Opt for example for a superior Bordeaux like the Château l'Escart cuvée d'Eden. Also favor wines combining Mourvèdre and Grenache, such as a varietal wine from the Pays d'Oc, to enhance the flavors of a beef rib steak or a rib of beef.
