Few indulgences complement each other quite like wine and chocolate. This winter, discover The Art of Pairing at McLeish Estate Wines, an immersive tasting experience featuring handcrafted chocolates from local artisan chocolatier Cocoa Nib, expertly matched with our award-winning wines.
During this guided tasting, you’ll explore how sweetness, texture, fruit character and tannin work together to create truly memorable flavour combinations. Whether you’re a wine enthusiast or simply love chocolate, this experience offers a delicious journey into the science and art of pairing.
The Secret to the Perfect Pairing
The key to a successful wine and chocolate pairing is matching intensity. Delicate chocolates pair beautifully with lighter, fruit-driven wines, while rich dark chocolates shine alongside fuller-bodied reds.
Throughout the tasting, you’ll discover how different chocolate styles can enhance and transform the character of each wine.
The experience features:
- Culloden NV Sparkling Shiraz
- Estate Merlot
- Estate Shiraz
- Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
Each pairing has been carefully crafted to highlight the unique flavours, textures and aromas of both the wine and chocolate, creating a memorable tasting experience.
Whether you’re visiting the Hunter Valley for a weekend away or simply looking for a unique cellar door experience, The Art of Pairing is a delicious way to discover McLeish Estate Wines.
Bookings are recommended. Join us at McLeish Estate and experience the art of pairing wine and chocolate this winter.
