Wine Quiz: What's Your New Favourite Winter Wine? <section><h2><h2><strong>DISCOVER A NEW RED WINE TO DRINK THIS WINTER</strong></h2></h2><p><p>Our diverse Australian winter is the best time of year to savour quality Australian red wine. Take our quiz to find out what your tastes reveal about the red wine varieties that are perfect for you this winter – you might even discover a new favourite!</p></p></section><section><h2><h2><strong>Sangiovese</strong></h2></h2><p><p>Ciao amico! For pizza and pasta lovers, Sangiovese is the perfect choice for winter. </p>Italy’s most widely planted red grape variety has turned heads among Australia’s winemakers and wine lovers, and it really comes into its own when matched with food, especially tomato-based dishes. So do what the Italians do and live <em>la dolce vita!</em></p></section><section><h3><h2><strong>Shiraz</strong></h2></h3><p>Bonjour mon ami! A Rhône Valley classic, Shiraz is also an Aussie favourite that is made in a range of deliciously diverse styles. So, whether you’re wrapping the gifts for Christmas in July or ordering in your favourite spicy Chinese dishes, Shiraz is your go-to winter red. </p></section><section><h3><h2><strong>Tempranillo</strong></h2></h3><p><p>Hola, mi amigo! Get the tapas plates on the table because you’re in for a Spanish-style winter. Gather friends and family and let the Tempranillo good times flow with amazing Aussie examples from regions including Margaret River, Barossa, and McLaren Vale! Delicioso.</p></p></section><section><h3><h2><strong>Malbec</strong></h2></h3><p>An Argentinean champion, Malbec is also well-suited to our Australian climate and thrives in moderate Langhorne Creek, Clare Valley and Margaret River. It’s high tannins and robust structure make it a great partner to deeply flavoured wintery meat dishes like steak, beef-based stews or Mexican. </p></section><section><h3><h2><strong>Cabernet</strong></h2></h3><p><p>It’s time to cosy up by the fire with a deliciously warming Cabernet. This big, bold Bordeaux native has found a home in our surfside regions like Margaret River and the Limestone Coast, but there’s certainly nothing summery about its aromas and flavours. Prepare for a rich and hearty winter feast! </p></p></section><section><h3><h2><strong>Pinot Noir </strong></h2></h3><p><p>Elegant, delicate and nuanced, plush Pinot Noir is perfect for a sophisticated winter drop. Believed to be over a thousand years older than Cabernet Sauvignon, this variety from Burgundy in France is one of Australia’s most popular red wines – a powerhouse in cool climate regions like Tasmania, Mornington Peninsula, Yarra Valley and Adelaide Hills. It’s a great food wine, so top your glass, fill your plate and bon appétit!</p></p></section><section><h2><h2>Winter nights are perfect for cosying up at home with takeaway.
