One for the red wine enthusiasts. For those hearty Easter roasts or grilled lamb dishes, a robust red wine is the perfect companion - opt for a rich and velvety Cabernet Sauvignon or a smooth Merlot. The bold flavours of these reds, complement the savoury goodness of roast lamb, bringing out the best in each bite. If you’re serving up a vegetarian dish, like roasted root vegetables or mushroom wellington, a medium-bodied Pinot Noir offer a great balance of fruitiness and earthiness.

For those that love a white wine. If your Easter table features a lighter spread like seafood or spring salads, a crisp and refreshing white wine is a must-have. Reach for a vibrant Sauvignon Blanc, which with its zesty citrus notes, boasts the flavours of grilled fish or a shrimp or prawn cocktail. Alternatively, a classic Chardonnay brings buttery richness to creamy pasta dishes or roasted chicken, making it a versatile choice for any Easter gathering. The crispness of a white wine will also enhance all the different flavours in a salad to complement the rest of your meal.

Did someone say rosé? Embrace the mood of Spring with a glass of blush-coloured rosé. This delicate wine is a crowd-pleaser, offering the best of both worlds with its light and fruity profile. Pair a dry rosé with a charcuterie board or smoked salmon canapés for a sophisticated starter. For the main course, you could try a sweeter rosé with honey-glazed ham or barbeque ribs, as the hint of sweetness, embraces the smoky flavour of the meat.

Whether you’re serving brunch favourites like eggs benedict or decadent desserts like lemon meringue pie, a dry sparkling wine like prosecco or champagne is the perfect match. Its excitement cleanses the palate between bites, ensuring every dish shines.
