Featured Wine & Wagyu Pairings
Our featured pairings this month highlight the synergy between premium steaks and world-class wines. These combinations are designed to elevate your dining experience, making each visit to Steer Dining Room truly special.
Pairing Recommendation #1
Mayura Station Full-blood Scotch Fillet
Pairing: 2018 Penfolds St Henri Shiraz, Barossa Valley, AU
The Mayura Station Full-blood Scotch Fillet is renowned for its tenderness and rich flavor. To complement this exquisite cut, we recommend the 2018 Penfolds St Henri Shiraz. This Shiraz is a true expression of South Australian terroir, featuring grapes from Barossa, McLaren, Port Lincoln, Robe, Padthaway, Clare Valley, and Adelaide Hills. Its varietal focus, rather than a heavy oak influence, allows the natural flavors of the steak and wine to shine in perfect harmony.
Pairing Recommendation #2
2GR Full-blood Wagyu Porterhouse
Pairing: 2021 Gaja 'Sito Moresco', Piedmont, IT
A succulent and robust cut like the 2GR Full-blood Wagyu Porterhouse requires a wine with both strength and elegance. The 2021 Gaja 'Sito Moresco' from Piedmont, Italy, is a blend of Nebbiolo, Cabernet, and Merlot, crafted by the legendary Angelo Gaja. This full-bodied wine, with its juicy and complex profile, perfectly complements the rich, marbled Porterhouse, making it a stellar wine pairing.
Pairing Recommendation #3
Kumamoto A5 Tenderloin
Pairing: 2021 Andre Goichot 'Champ la Dame' Givry, Burgundy, FR
For a lean, delicate, and flavorful cut like the Kumamoto A5 Tenderloin, we turn to the 2021 Andre Goichot 'Champ la Dame' Givry from Burgundy, France. This medium-tannin wine, with its hints of new oak spice and fruit notes of strawberries and blackberries, provides a perfect seasoning to the tenderloin's refined taste. The wine's supple and full style elevates the subtle flavours of this exquisite wagyu cut.
The art of wagyu and wine pairings is a journey into flavour and texture harmony. Finding the perfect wine to complement a cut of meat enhances both elements, creating a memorable experience. By understanding the unique qualities of each steak cut and selecting wines that highlight these attributes, you can elevate any dining experience.
