The South African Wine Society says that barbecue season is kicking off, and fancy grills have never been more popular. As you head outside to prepare meals cooked with fire, we see demand increase for wines that go well with these foods. BBQ friendly wines need not be expensive.

Strategies for paring wines with BBQ? 

BBQ is not complete without rosé wines. Rosé, frequently considered as a ‘white wine alternative’ for the typically red wine-leaning drinker, has some added structure and complexity like a red with a fresh clean finish like a white wine. BBQ can stand up to a richer style of wine - whether fuller bodied with more alcohol and tannin or a richer and weightier white wine. We will serve a fresh white starter/reception wine; five different rosés; and two fresh, easy drinking reds; all suited to the patio and BBQ environment. Our tasting will accompanied by an alfresco-style tasting plate. 

Join the South African Wine Society to see what we have assembled for your enjoyment.
