Easter is a busy time of year in the winery, but for most Australians, it means an extra long weekend and a road trip to visit friends and family.
We’re lucky to enjoy Easter at home, hopefully Adam will be able to duck out of the winery for at least one meal!
What wine do you pair with your Easter feast? We’ve put together a few suggestions.
Good Friday: Fish
Fish is traditionally served on Good Friday. We love grilled fish (with a little seasoning – see below), especially Snapper or Barramundi. We often serve it with homemade fries, tartare sauce and some home grown lemon.
While Chardonnay is frequently recommended as a pairing suggestion with fish, we enjoy our Grampians Viognier (textural with crispness, richness and body).
Easter Sunday: Lamb
We’re lucky, the Grampians is also lamb country! On Easter Sunday, we’ll be serving Lamb rack with roast veggies including home grown chat potatoes (first time success with growing potatoes!) and tomato and onion bake.
Rich, structured wines work well with lamb as the tannin helps balance the fattiness of the meat. Our SubRosa Nebbiolo, Grampians Shiraz or Grampians Cabernet would pair beautifully.
Enjoy making memories with those you love this Easter.
