A juicy beef burger pairs best with a fruity, medium- to full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon blend or Malbec, whose ripe fruit, firm tannins and lively acidity complement rich meat and savoury flavours. For alternatives, try Syrah or, for lighter or non-beef burgers, an oaked Chardonnay.
Merlot is a dark-skinned red grape that often produces smooth, fruit-driven wines with flavours of plum, black cherry and chocolate. It is famous in Bordeaux and widely grown across the world, from California to Chile.
