With a good wine an ordinary meal will turn into a beautiful memory. Whether you have an ordinary dinner at home or a party with your friends, wine will make any food taste better and will make it special. All wines do not match with all foods. This is why it is important to know what to combine with your bottle. In the present article, we are going to discuss the most suitable food combinations with the two most well-known Croix Du Marquis wines, Croix Du Marquis Sauvignon Blanc 75cl and Croix Du Marquis Merlot 75cl 12%.
In this guide, you will get to know simple and delicious methods of enjoying these wines with daily meals. And we will recommend other fantastic wines and spirits which are offered by Liquor Kingdom to continue with.
What to Eat with Croix Du Marquis Sauvignon Blanc 75cl
Croix Du Marquis Sauvignon Blanc 75cl is zesty and fresh. It is clean with citrus, green apple and herb notes. It goes well with light and fresh food. Consider meals that are not overwhelming. This wine goes well with salads dressed with lemon, grilled fish or sushi.
When you are having a meal such as grilled prawns or lemon chicken, the acidity of the wine combines with the richness and enhances the flavours. Goat cheese also goes well with creamy goat cheese. The wine is very tangy and is balanced by the cheese which also provides a smooth finish.
A good combination with anything including herbs such as basil, mint or parsley is another good combination. As an example, a pasta dish made of olive oil, garlic and herbs will be even more delicious with this Sauvignon Blanc. It is easy, fresh and so easy to love.
Best Dishes for Croix Du Marquis Merlot 75cl 12%
The Croix Du Marquis Merlot 75cl 12% is medium bodied, smooth and full of berries. Plum, cherry and some spice are detectable. It goes well with starchy foods that are full of taste.
Do it on grilled lamb chops or slow-cooked beef. The wine neutralizes the strong meat flavors and gives a fruity taste to each mouthful. Even plain tomato based pasta is good. The acid of the wine mixes with the tomato and forms an ideal balance.
It is also good to be eaten with cheese. Old cheddar or gouda is a good accompaniment. And when you are taking pizza with meat toppings, then this Merlot is a good choice. It is a drinkable wine and can be used in informal dinners and fancy meals.
More Wine Options to Try
And should you fancy bolder red, the Croix Du Marquis Cabernet Sauvignon 75cl is a good next step. It is heavier and more flavorful as compared to Merlot. It goes well with steaks, burgers and grilled food. The tannins of the Cabernet Sauvignon flavour the fatty meat and smoky foodstuffs.
Otherwise, Kangaroo Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon 75cl is also a good choice. It is powerful, yet creamy, and its texture is rich, which is ideal for winter dishes. In case you prefer your reds mellow and gentle, Kangaroo Ridge Merlot 75cl 13.5% is not to be overlooked as well. It is like the Croix Du Marquis Merlot but with a little bit bolder side.
Both of these wines come with something different to offer. That is all up to you depending on what you are making and how you are feeling.
Explore Unique Spirits for After Dinner
After the dinner, it is time to have something special. Fine spirits are where it comes in. Doorly XO 70cl 43% is sweet and smooth rum, in case you enjoy drinking rum. It is wonderful to drink slowly, particularly with the dark chocolate or nuts.
To go deeper, consider Doorly 12 Year Old 70cl 43%. It is older and there are vanilla and spice notes. Or be even more adventurous and get Doorly 14 Year Old 70cl 48% that has a more powerful taste with a warming finish.
In case you want something unique, Foursquare 2009 70cl 60% is a strong rum with a strong flavor. It is best drunk straight. To experience something unique, one should not miss the Clairin 22 Months Ansyen 2018 Casimir Ex-Whisky. This is a Haitian rum, which is aged in old whisky barrels and tastes wild and natural.
