The Best Cheese & Charcuterie Pairings with Australian Wines
There’s something undeniably luxurious about a perfectly curated cheese and charcuterie board — especially when it’s paired with the right Australian wine. Whether you’re entertaining friends or indulging in a quiet night in, here’s how to master the art of pairing like a sommelier.
Soft Cheese + Sparkling
Creamy brie or camembert loves a glass of Tasmanian sparkling, like Jansz. The bubbles cut through the richness, balancing every bite.
Aged Cheddar + Shiraz
A sharp, crumbly cheddar pairs beautifully with a bold Barossa Valley Shiraz. The intensity of the wine enhances the savoury depth of the cheese.
Goat’s Cheese + Riesling
Fresh goat’s cheese has a zesty tang that sings with a Clare Valley Riesling. Look to Grosset for a crisp, citrus-driven match.
Prosciutto + Pinot Noir
The delicate, salty notes of prosciutto pair well with a silky Yarra Valley Pinot Noir. Try Giant Steps for an elegant option.
Blue Cheese + Botrytis Semillon
A decadent combination — rich blue cheese with a luscious Hunter Valley Botrytis Semillon. Sweet, salty, and unforgettable.
