Discover the Art of Pairing

On February 18th, we celebrate International Drink Wine and Explore New Wine Pairings Day, a perfect occasion to enjoy the balance between wine and gastronomy. At Grupo La Brasa restaurants, located in the south of Tenerife, we invite you to immerse yourself in the art of pairing and discover combinations that enhance every bite.

Types of Pairings

Pairing is the harmonious combination of wine and a dish to enhance their flavors and textures. There are different types of pairings that can transform a simple meal into an unforgettable gastronomic experience.

Complementary Pairing

This technique seeks to unite wines and dishes with similar characteristics, creating a sense of continuity on the palate. A classic example is pairing grilled meats with full-bodied, structured wines that enhance the juiciness and depth of the dish.

Contrasting Pairing

In this case, the goal is to balance flavors through contrast. For instance, a spicy or seasoned dish finds a great ally in a wine with refreshing acidity or a hint of sweetness, helping to soften intense notes and bring harmony to the combination.

Regional Pairing

Following the principle that “what grows together, goes together,” regional pairing focuses on combining wines and dishes from the same area. In Tenerife, this means enjoying local flavors with wines crafted under similar conditions, highlighting the island’s gastronomic identity.

Creative Pairing

For lovers of innovation, creative pairing allows for experimenting with unexpected flavors. One example could be pairing desserts where the balance of sweetness and acidity in the wine brings out hidden nuances in the dish, creating a unique sensory experience.
