Question

What are some recommended Australian wines to have with seafood?

Answer 1

Lots and Lots then you won't care about the seafood!

Answer 2

Try Lindeman's bin 65

Answer 3

It doesn't matter where in the world you are, it seems you can always get a good Australian wine.

One of my favourites is a Margaret River Sav Blanc by Leeuwin Estate.

Answer 4

try the macwilliams (mcwilliams?) range- always good value and tons of flavour.

personally would always recommend a pouilly fume or fuisse but they're french....

Answer 5

Shiraz is good but the pinot grigio wouldn't overpower the delicate flavors of seafood.

Answer 6

Liedmans Barrel 27

or Rosemount Siraz

Answer 7

Black opal is good

Answer 8

yellow tail

Answer 9

If you are at a decent non-BYO restaurant (especially one with a specialist wine waiter) you should definitely ask for suggestions as to the best wine to go with the dishes you have  ordered. They know their wines and food best and will no doubt be happy to name the best selection.

Answer 10

MacPherson is a great, but inexpensive, Australian brand, I'd suggest trying their chardonnay.

Answer 11

Wines are great to unwind!

So i say All!!!

Answer 12

Anything by Yellowtail.  I love all their wines, esp. the Merlot Shiraz!  But w/ fish, go for a lighter wine.

Answer 13

Black Opal Shiraz

Answer 14

Chateau St. Michelle - Reisling

It is wonderful.

Answer 15

Some of my favorites include Lindeman's, Jacobs Creek and, believe it or not, YellowTail....

Answer 16

I prefer Australian shiraz

Answer 17

Due to the fertile soils and isolation of the manufacturing practices traditional wines in Tasmania far exceeds the commercial varieties in both taste and resilience.

For the Pinot Noir l personally can recommend 9th Island, Pipers Brook which produces the rich reds..shiraz..pinot...and fanatastic...whites...

Another label is called Tarrawarra this is from the Yarra Valley in Victoria e. From the same area you have Eyton On Yarra...which l personally recommend...

There are many wine producing areas in Australia and having 3 grown up children in the Industry l can personally recommend

Reds...Murray Bend Lot 44 ( Merlot-plum and spice)

Yalumba Carte D'or Shiraz 2004 ( Australia's oldest family winery )

Mildara Yellow Label Cabernet Merlot (blends with real elegance)

Whites...Hardy's Nottage Hill Semillon Sauvignon Blanc ( zingy and zesty)

Addison Mt Benson Section 49 Verdelho 2005 (ripe fruit and honey notes)

and my personal are

Dorrien  Estate Bin 3 Eden Valley Traminer Riesling 2005 (aromatic)

Bleasdale Langhorne Creek Chardonnay 2005 (from the region Wolf Blass called his secret weapon )

It all comes down to personal tastes..some like full-flavoured wines, you have tasty oaks,berry fruit characters...and Remember

Life is too Short not to enjoy Good wine...

Answer 18

The Penfolds or Wolf Blass brands are recommended...

Answer 19

a white wine always goes best with seafood. try brown brothers. i love them. its a bit more expensive than the others but well worth it. if not in your price range go the jacobs creek, yalumba.

Answer 20

ANY WHITE,, brand ans taste are your choice, but should be explored.

Answer 21

Jacobs Creek - Chardonnay (New South Wales)

Stoneleigh Marlborough S- avvignon Blanc (Western Australia)

De Bortoli Windy Peak - Savuignon Blanc Semillon (Victoria)

Taylors Promised Land - Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

Peter Lehmann Eden valley - Riesling (New South Wales)

Answer 22

Yellow Tail is my favorite Australian wine.  Its nothing fancy, but its good and its affordable.

Everyone keeps mentioning Shiraz or other reds, but you are supposed to have a white wine with seafood.  I am not a big white wine fan, but Pinot Grigio it ok.  Yellow Tail makes a decent one.

Answer 23

Yellow Tail Merlot...or chard...whichever  you prefer.

Answer 24

i dont know.  but check out the australian band, THE LIVING END

Answer 25

I don't know much about wine, but a good idea is to check out the winelist on the menu of a seafood restaurant and try a few of them according to your budget.

Answer 26

One of my favourites is a Margaret River Sav Blanc by Leeuwin Estate.

Answer 27

i prefer italian

Answer 28

I like Alice Springs or Yellowtail for inexpensive options.  I once read a great article on how to choose a wine at a restaurant - I'm sure you can use similar logic at a wine shop (if this is for a home meal), as limiting to Australian wines will significantly reduce your list.

1.  Choose red or white.  Generally white with fish, but go with what you prefer.

2.  Choose a price range.

3.  Choose Australian in this case.

4.  For a restaurant, the author recommended choosing something you haven't had before.  You pay a premium at a restaurant (usually 2 - 2.5x the price, often more), so why pay a premium for something you ALWAYS drink?  

5.  You can choose the "type" as well.  For whites, something like reisling will be much sweeter.  Pinot Gris or Pinot Grigio, not quite as sweet and a very light summer wine.  Etc.  You may want to consider the sauce or preparation of the fish to determine how "big" a flavor you want from the wine.  

6.  When you get down to just a couple, ask the waiter or clerk at a store to tell you something about your remaining choices.  The author suggested that if you just ask for a preference, the person will choose at random or just choose the most expensive for a big tip.  If you ask him/her to "tell you something" it forces that person to know something about it or find someone who does!

Answer 29

I don't know how they go with seafood.  But I enjoy Wolf Blass Yellow label and Wolf Blass Brown label.

Answer 30

Jacobs Creek is ok, although I prefer the sparkling.  Try and Pino Gris, delicious!!!!!

Answer 31

A couple new ones to come to market that are very reasonably priced and I've been impressed by their qaulity are "Yellow Tail" and  "The Little Penguin" Both of the wineries make excellent reds ( Shiraz, Merlot, and Cabernet) their whites are clean ,crisp tasting . The Pinot Gris is a nice one for white fish.
