\"\"Vanilla ice cream and hot chocolate fudge. cake. <\/span>. Some combinations are so classic! You instantly, instinctively know what to pair them with. But wine seems to be something of a mystery. To demystify this seemingly complex process, we\u2019ve drawn up 4 basic wine and food pairing rules.<\/p>\n

Pairing rule #1: The appetisers<\/h2>\n

What you would serve at the start of a meal? Light nibbles of course. It could be cheese, it could be a little baked starter like canap\u00e9s or a stuffed mini filo pastry. Due to the cheesy nature of these dishes, they tend to have flavours of saltiness and sourness. What you need to cut through these is a wine with acidity \u2013 like the Big Banyan Rosa Rossa. It is light bodied and sails down pretty smooth. Set the mood for your dinner, with a wine like this.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pairing rule #2: The mains<\/h2>\n

This is usually your piece de resistance<\/i>. The dish that would elicit oohs-and-aahs from your guests! You\u2019d want a wine that would compliment the grace of your main course. Pick a Big Banyan Limited Shiraz. Its deep flavours enhance the flavours of your food. And it pairs well with mains like risotto, grilled chicken with young vegetables on the side, or even fish like John Dory. <\/span><\/p>\n

Pairing rule #3: The Indian mains<\/h2>\n

Who doesn\u2019t love a good ol\u2019 spicy Indian curry and butter naan for mains! But many believe that wine and Indian don\u2019t work well together. We say \u2013 they are so mistaken! Pick a Cabernet Sauvignon. The deep, intense personality of this wine is just what you need for food that is big on flavours.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pairing rule #4: Desserts<\/h2>\n

This one\u2019s rather simple. Simply choose a dessert wine \u2013 like the Big Banyan Bellissima. But there\u2019s one thing you need to bear in mind \u2013 make sure your dessert is light and airy, like a souffl\u00e9. Big Banyan Bellissima is divinely sweet, but as dessert wines tend to be, it is on a slightly heavier side. Pairing it with light, happy desserts will end the meal on a high note.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
