The flames of a BBQ impart woody smoke and a touch of bitterness from charring meats and veggies, so look for a Red that has seen a bit of new oak. Think young Bordeaux/Cabernet blends, high quality Shiraz, Malbec and Tempranillo. New oak can be expensive, so depending on the occasion and the cut of meat, you have the perfect excuse to go all out and open something special.
Iconic cult Shiraz from McLaren Vale that pairs incredibly well with BBQ'd lamb chops and middle eastern kaftas!
Structured and dangerously addictive Tempranillo from Spain that pairs beautifully with anything that sees a BBQ!
