Main Course
The young Ruby Style port wines – Late Bottled Vintage and Vintage – with their youthful energy and characteristic power, are the ideal companions for spicy main courses. Opt for those leaning towards the drier side, as they bring a refreshing and spicy dimension to classic dishes such as young vintage and pepper steak.
Ruby port wines, especially the young varieties, are known for their fresh and intense fruit flavors. This youthful energy adds vibrancy to the meal and creates a contrast to the spicy nuances of the main course. Their fruity character pairs well with the flavors of juicy meat and spicy elements.
A classic pepper steak requires a port wine with enough strength to match its intensity. A dry Ruby port, not too aged, offers just that. With its dense structure and dryness, it creates an exciting interplay with the pepper steak’s spicy and juicy meat. This combination is a symphony of flavors, where each bite is a new discovery.
