Wondering which wines will work best with your Australia Day barbecue? We have your perfect pairing right here, courtesy of Thorn-Clarke's Chief Winemaker, Peter Kelly.

Lamb– The2018 Shotfire Quartagepairs particularly well with any type of lamb dish. Whether it be a lamb roast or chops on the barbie, the sweet, earthy flavours of the blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Merlot really compliment the richness of lamb.

Prawns– BBQ and prawns are a match made in heaven, only made better by a great wine match! Our2018 Single Vineyard Chardonnayhas body and complexity along with great fruit flavour and really brings out the best in this classic dish.

Classic Aussie Sausage Sizzle– Sausages and Australia Day are almost compulsory companions across the nation. The2018 Sandpiper Shirazmatches well with your sausage of choice, whether it’s traditional beef, an Italian pork style and even Chicken and pine nut.

Veggie Skewers- For those who don't eat meat, veggie skewers are a popular BBQ option. The2020 Sandpiper Mataro Roséis an absolutely perfect pairing, but keep in mind that the wine itself is not vegan. For a vegan option the2018 Single Vineyard Grenacheis a great choice!

Charcuterie & Antipasto– If you have some friends and family coming over for Australia Day, chances are a platter of some description will make an appearance. The variety of flavours and textures make it hard to pin down a single match but wines such as the2019 Sandpiper Pinot GrisorNV Sparkling Pinot Noir Chardonnaytend to work well.
