Pork: Wine Pairing

2015 Pira Barolo

2015 Pira Vignarionda Barolo


You can either have a rich white like an Australian dry Riesling or a juicy red like a Red Burgundy or Rioja. However, I am going to break the mould and have a 2015 Barolo from a small producer in Piedmont called Pira. I remember sitting down with the family who produce the wine in late 2019 in northern Italy before these challenging times were upon us, and I just want to raise a glass to them. I also think Nebbiolo goes very well with pork.

2018 Lusco Albarino


Some varietals that go with a pork dish like this would be riesling, viognier, albarino, chenin blanc, pinot noir or nebbiolo.


 The Lusco albarino had a rich bouquet which comprised of aromas of orange, grapefruit, and pear, and mineral qualities. A smokey note appears on the back end. Full in flavor, yet crisp with fresh citrus and stone fruit bursting onto the palate.

Love by Leoube Rose. 


Vietnamese food is not as spicy as other Asian dishes. Instead, it offers a great balance of textures and flavours of the perfect combination of spices. Low alcohol is the way to go with Vietnamese food so as not to interfere with sweet or herbal notes. Wines such as Riesling, Pinot Noir, Rose, Sauvignon Blanc or Torrontes. 


Love Rose was pale pink in colour with fruit flavours such as strawberry and peach and paired well with the pork shoulder.

2016  Yalumba The Cigar Cabernet Sauvignon


The wines to pair with this style of pork belly that compliments the honey and mustard flavour would be  either a Rioja, cabernet sauvignon, German Reisling or a Beaulolais. 


 This amazing Cabernet from one of Australia’s oldest wine families paired perfectly with the pork belly. The wine displayed aromas such as plum, blackberries and spices. The palate had layers of fruits like blueberry, plum and cherries. Would benefit more from laying down for 10 more years. 

The belly rules the mind
