Beef
What Wine Goes With Beef
Our Favourite Pairings
Cabernet Sauvigon
– Great with grilled steak, roast beef & prime rib.
Malbec
– Rich fruit makes it ideal for barbecued beef.
Syrah
– Peppery spice complements grilled & smoked beef.
Bordeaux Blend
– Elegant with roast beef & special occasions.
Why It Works
Beef is naturally rich in protein and fat, making it one of the best partners
for full-bodied red wines with firm tannins.
The tannins bind with the proteins in the meat, softening the wine
while cleansing your palate after every bite.
Bold fruit flavours and structured wines also stand up beautifully to grilled, roasted, and barbecued beef,
creating a balanced and satisfying pairing.
BIN 104 Tip:
Not all beef is the same. The cut matters just as much as the wine.
A lean filet mignon pairs beautifully with Cabernet Sauvignon or Bordeaux Blend, while a rich ribeye or smoky grilled steak is a natural match for Malbec or Syrah.
Always consider the sauce and seasoning before making your final wine selection.
