Four Great Foods to Pair with Catena Malbec
Beef Stew and Malbec
This is a classic example of matching a wine’s body to the weight of your food. Beef stew is a hearty meal, and Catena Malbec is a rich and full bodied wine. The tannins in the wine will be softened by all the protein in the stew bringing out the deeper flavours in both the wine and the stew. Meanwhile the rustic qualities of this wine, such as the mint, licorice and tobacco flavours will play nicely with the earthier aspects of the beef stew.Pizza with Mushrooms and Sausage paired with Malbec
Catena Malbec has plenty of subtle grilled herbs flavours will pair up nicely with the earthiness of the mushrooms and the spices in the sausage. This wine is creamy it its texture, which matches the body of the melted cheese. Meanwhile the tangy flavours of fig and plum found in this wine will go great with the tanginess of the tomato sauce.Cabbage Rolls and Malbec
Catena Malbec works great with Cabbage Rolls as it is spicy on the tongue highlighted by cracked black pepper. The wine is bright in its fruit flavours, but doesn’t shine too much to overshadow the cabbage.Braised Lamb and Malbec
Catena Malbec has some great mint flavours which makes it no surprise in pairing well with Lamb. Braised Lamb is very rich in its texture, and this muscular red can hold up to its weight. Catena Malbec would also be great with grilled lamb and roasted lamb as well for similar reasons.Written by: Joel Baxter
