Wine guide

The Perfect Wine Pairing for your Barbecue Feast

Barbecuing is more than just cooking—it's a way of life. Whether you're grilling juicy steaks, spicy burgers, or tender vegetables, the right wine elevates your BBQ to a new level. In our collection of around 30 carefully selected wines, you're guaranteed to find the ideal partner for your grilled creations. From powerful red wines that harmonize with intense roasted flavours to refreshing white wines for lighter dishes, we have it all.

Style & Grape Varieties: Bold, Fruity, and Diverse

When it comes to BBQ wine, most people immediately think of red. Our selection is rich in bold, full-bodied reds that can effortlessly stand up to intensely flavoured grilled meats. Grape varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, and the South African classic Pinotage take centre stage. Discover bestsellers like 'The Chocolate Block' or 'Big G', which impress with their complex structure and fruitiness. But a good BBQ is diverse, and so is our wine selection. We also feature elegant white wines like Chardonnay or Chenin Blanc, which are wonderful with grilled fish, chicken, or as an aperitif in the sun. For special occasions, you'll find many of our favourites in magnum bottles.

Regions: Sunshine of South Africa in a Glass

The focus of our BBQ collection is on South Africa, particularly the renowned wine region of Franschhoek. The warm climate produces wines with intense fruit, ripe tannins, and a full body—ideal characteristics for a barbecue wine. These wines capture the South African sun and bring it directly to your table. The selection is complemented by some exciting wines from other regions, such as our German 'Max & Moritz' organic wines, which offer a fresh alternative.

Food Pairing: The Perfect Match

A powerful Cabernet Sauvignon or a spicy Shiraz are the classic companions for beef steak or lamb chops. The roasted aromas of the meat and the tannins of the wine create a perfect union. A fruit-forward Pinotage pairs excellently with spareribs in a smoky marinade or spicy sausages. For poultry, fish, or grilled halloumi, we recommend a fresh Chenin Blanc or a lightly chilled, not-too-heavy red wine.

From Everyday Hero to Highlight

Our BBQ wines cover a wide price range. You can find straightforward and delicious wines for a spontaneous weeknight barbecue starting from around €10. The majority of the wines are priced up to about €30, offering excellent value for money. For those very special moments, there are also exclusive wines and magnum bottles up to over €60, turning any barbecue into an unforgettable event.

Frequently asked questions

Which wine pairs best with a grilled steak?

Powerful, tannic red wines are an ideal match for grilled steak. A Cabernet Sauvignon, a Shiraz, or a blend like 'The Chocolate Block' from our selection are excellent choices as they wonderfully complement the smoky, roasted flavours of the meat.

Are there also suitable white wines for a BBQ?

Yes, absolutely! A fresh, crisp white wine like a Chenin Blanc or a Sémillon pairs beautifully with grilled fish, prawns, chicken, or vegetarian dishes and salads. A Chardonnay that is not too oaky is also a great option.

Does the collection include wines for a larger group?

Yes, for larger barbecue parties, we offer some of our most popular wines like 'Big G' or 'The Chocolate Block' in 1.5-litre magnum bottles. They are not only practical but also a real eye-catcher at any celebration.

What is special about South African red wines for grilling?

South African red wines, especially from warm regions like Franschhoek, are often very fruit-forward, full-bodied, and have ripe, soft tannins. This combination makes them perfect partners for intensely flavoured grilled food, as they complement the flavours without overpowering them.
