EXPLORE WINE BY STYLE

The broadest way to approach wine shopping is to start with colour and style. Red, white, sparkling and rosé wines each offer distinct characteristics and suit different moments and meals.

Red wines

Red wines are made from dark-coloured grape varieties and range from light and elegant to full-bodied and structured. Red wines typically contain tannins, which create a subtle drying sensation in the mouth. Red wine suits hearty meals, entertaining and occasions when you want something with presence.

Red wine styles vary significantly. Some red wines are smooth and fruit-driven, designed for immediate enjoyment. Others are more structured and built to develop complexity over time. When browsing red wines, consider whether you prefer something lighter and approachable or fuller-bodied and more substantial.

White wines

White wines are made from green or yellow grape varieties and range from crisp and aromatic to rich and textured. White wines typically have bright acidity, which creates a refreshing sensation on the palate. White wine suits seafood, lighter meals, warm weather and occasions when you want something fresh and approachable.

White wine styles vary widely. Some white wines are bone-dry and mineral. Others are aromatic and fruit-forward. Some are textured and complex, built to age. When browsing white wines, consider your preference for acidity, body and flavour intensity.

Sparkling wines

Sparkling wines contain carbonation and range from dry to sweet. They suit celebrations, aperitifs, informal entertaining and lighter meals. Sparkling wine brings a sense of occasion and festivity to any moment, whether you're marking a milestone or simply relaxing with friends.

Rosé wines

Rosé wine is made from red grape varieties with minimal skin contact, giving it its characteristic pink colour. Rosé ranges from dry and crisp to slightly sweet. Rosé suits warm weather, casual entertaining, seafood and lighter meals. Rosé wine is approachable, refreshing and often associated with relaxed, convivial moments.

WHICH WINE VARIETY SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?

Wine varieties are the grape types used to make wine. Each variety has its own characteristics, flavour profile and typical structure. Understanding the key varieties helps you navigate wine selection based on preference.

Popular red wine varieties

Cabernet Sauvignon. A full-bodied red wine, typically structured and elegant with dark fruit, herb and subtle oak characteristics. Cabernet Sauvignon pairs well with beef, lamb and hearty meals. It is known for ageing potential and is often chosen for special occasions and fine dining.

Shiraz. A full-bodied red wine, typically generous and spicy with fruit-forward character. Shiraz displays dark fruit, spice and sometimes pepper or licorice notes. It pairs well with barbecued meats, rich dishes and entertaining. Shiraz is a quintessentially Australian variety and is approachable at many price points.

Pinot Noir. A light to medium-bodied red wine, typically elegant and nuanced. Pinot Noir displays red fruit flavours and subtle earthiness with generally lower tannins than Cabernet or Shiraz. It pairs well with duck, mushrooms, lighter meat dishes and even seafood. Pinot Noir is prized for its finesse and balance.

Merlot. A medium to full-bodied red wine, typically soft and approachable. Merlot displays plum and dark fruit flavours with often gentle tannins. It pairs well with roasted meats, pasta dishes and casual entertaining. Merlot is known for being smooth and easy to drink.

Grenache. A medium to full-bodied red wine, typically fruit-driven and spicy. Grenache displays red and dark fruit flavours with peppery spice notes. It pairs well with Mediterranean dishes, hearty stews and informal entertaining. Grenache is increasingly recognised as a versatile and distinctive variety.

Popular white wine varieties

Chardonnay. A versatile white wine variety that ranges from light and crisp to rich and textured, depending on winemaking style. Chardonnay typically displays green fruit, citrus or stone fruit flavours. Some styles are aged in oak, creating buttery, creamy characteristics. Chardonnay pairs well with seafood, roast chicken, creamy dishes and aged cheeses. It suits both casual and formal occasions.

Riesling. A light to medium-bodied white wine, typically aromatic and bright. Riesling displays stone fruit, citrus and floral flavours with crisp acidity. Riesling can range from bone-dry to off-dry or sweet, depending on style. It pairs excellently with seafood, Asian cuisine and lighter meals. Riesling is highly versatile and food-friendly.

Sauvignon Blanc. A light to medium-bodied white wine, typically crisp and refreshing. Sauvignon Blanc displays herbaceous, citrus and tropical fruit characteristics with bright acidity. It pairs well with fresh seafood, salads, goat's cheese and light meals. Sauvignon Blanc is ideal for warm weather and casual entertaining.

CHOOSE WINE BY FLAVOUR AND BODY

Beyond colour and variety, wine characteristics such as body, acidity, tannins and oak influence help define your preference. Understanding these elements helps you select a wine that suits your taste.

Light and refreshing wines

Light-bodied wines feel delicate and crisp on the palate. They typically have bright acidity and fresh fruit character. Light wines suit casual drinking, warm weather and lighter meals. Light-bodied white wines such as Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling are particularly refreshing. Light-bodied red wines such as Pinot Noir offer elegant, approachable enjoyment.

Medium-bodied and fruit-driven wines

Medium-bodied wines feel balanced and substantial. They typically have moderate acidity and prominent fruit character. Medium wines suit casual dinners, pasta dishes and shared meals. Examples include Merlot, Pinot Noir, Grenache and fruit-forward Chardonnay styles.

Rich and full-bodied wines

Full-bodied wines feel rich, heavy and powerful on the palate. They typically have concentrated fruit, fuller tannin structure and sometimes oak influence. Full-bodied wines suit hearty meals, barbecues and special occasions. Examples include Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Wine body is influenced by alcohol content, tannins, sweetness and the concentration of flavours. Flavour characteristics are typical themes and may vary according to region, vineyard conditions and winemaking approach. Always check individual wine information for specific tasting notes and serving guidance.

CHOOSE WINE FOR ANY OCCASION

Beyond matching wine with food, choosing wine by occasion helps you select something suited to the moment.

Wine for entertaining

For dinner parties, choose wines that complement your menu but also impress your guests. Structured red wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon or medium-bodied Pinot Noir work well. Premium white wines such as quality Chardonnay or Riesling suit fish or lighter menus. For casual entertaining, choose approachable, fruit-driven wines that encourage relaxed enjoyment.

Wine for gifting and celebrations

For milestone moments such as birthdays, anniversaries and promotions, sparkling wine brings a sense of occasion. Alternatively, choose a premium wine from your guest's favourite variety or range. When gifting wine, consider the recipient's preference for red or white, their preferred variety, and the occasion. A wine from a recognised Taylor's range signals thoughtfulness and quality.

For building a home wine collection, consider diversity across colour, variety and body. Include light-bodied wines for casual enjoyment, full-bodied wines for hearty meals, and at least one sparkling wine for celebrations.

Which wine pairs with seafood?

Crisp white wines such as Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling pair well with fresh seafood due to their bright acidity. Chardonnay, particularly unoaked or lightly oaked styles, also pairs well with richer seafood preparations. Lighter rosé wines can also work well with seafood.

How should wine be stored after purchase?

Store wine in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and temperature fluctuations. For wines you plan to drink soon, a cool cupboard or wine rack is suitable.
