Pork
What Wine Goes With Pork
Our Favourite Pairings
Pinot Noir
– Perfect with pork tenderloin, roast pork & grilled chops.

Zinfandel

Why It Works
Pork is one of the most versatile meats for wine pairing, thanks to its mild flavour and wide range of cooking styles.
Pinot Noir is a classic match for roast pork, while Grenache and Chianti shine with grilled chops and pork tenderloin.
For dishes featuring apple, maple, or creamy sauces, a rich Chardonnay or an off-dry Riesling can be an equally delicious choice.
BIN 104 Tip:
Pair the wine to the sauce, not just the pork.
Rich Chardonnay and off-dry Riesling can be just as delicious as red wine with apple, maple, or creamy pork dishes.
