Merlot

Adventurous

Red · Medium · Dry

Cabernet's softer sibling — plum, black cherry, and a whisper of chocolate, framed by rounder tannins and earlier drinkability. The wine that built Pomerol and the one to reach for when Cabernet feels like overkill.

Why it works with Tilapia, Grilled

Merlot's mid-weight flatters Tilapia, Grilled without taking over — the everyday red strategy.

A wine outside our reference catalogue — likely a single-producer or single-vineyard bottling. Open with a small pour to assess body and sweetness, then pair to match its weight.

Why it works with Tilapia, Grilled

Mojito Lime and Tilapia, Grilled make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.

Zinfandel

Adventurous

Red · Full · Dry

California's brawler — jammy blackberry, brambly spice, and 15% alcohol that hides behind the fruit. Built for ribs, brisket, and anything that came off a grill.

Why it works with Tilapia, Grilled

Zinfandel's structured tannins frame Tilapia, Grilled; reach for this when the dish has weight to match.
