Elderton "Estate" Shiraz Barossa

Barossa, South Australia, Australia
Red, Still

Pairing Idea: a bigger shiraz

There's a spiciness to the wine and generosity that works with this dish.The oak in the wine seems to be really well integrated. It's not a coat of paint. I think this is a classic case of I don't know what but the toasty, pan-fried notes really work with this wine. I'm blown away. The two have similar body and richness. The voluptuousness, the tannins make it possible to drink this red wine with this dish. It works but it's a bit too big for the dish.
