Red · Full · Dry

The benchmark for full-bodied red — structured, age-worthy, unapologetic. Black currant, graphite, and tobacco lead into firm tannins that demand protein on the plate. Decant young bottles; cellar the serious ones.

Why it works with Cold Roast Pork

Cabernet's tannin grips red-meat protein and cuts through fat.

Chardonnay

Adventurous

White · Medium · Dry

The most-planted white grape and the most chameleon-like. Crisp and steely from Chablis; rich, oaky, and tropical from California. Read the label, then match the style to the dish.

Why it works with Cold Roast Pork With Apple

Chardonnay's body and acid balance Cold Roast Pork With Apple's flavor profile.

Chenin Blanc

Interesting

White · Medium · Off-dry

The Loire's most versatile grape — bone-dry and steely from Savennières, honeyed and ageless from Vouvray. Naturally high acid keeps every style food-friendly.

Why it works with Cold Roast Pork

Loire Chenin with pork is a French regional classic — apple, quince, and acid.

Pinot Noir

Classic

Red · Light · Dry

Burgundy's most temperamental grape, but the rewards are real — translucent ruby with a perfumed lift of red cherry, forest floor, and clove. Silken tannins and bright acid make it the most versatile red on the table; serve cool, around 58°F.

Why it works with Cold Roast Pork

Light red with bright cherry — flatters pork without overwhelming its delicacy.

Riesling

Classic

White · Light · Off-dry

Aromatic, racy, and shapeshifting — bone-dry in Alsace, off-dry on the Mosel, syrupy and ageless when late-harvested. The single most versatile wine for spicy food on earth.

Why it works with Cold Roast Pork

Off-dry Riesling is the pork wine — stone fruit and acid with the meat's natural sweetness.

Rosé

Classic

Rosé · Light · Dry

Provence's gift to summer — dry, pale, faintly strawberry-and-citrus, with low alcohol and crisp acid. Made to drink cold, with food, in the shade.

Why it works with Cold Roast Pork

Dry rosé bridges pork preparations from ham to tenderloin to roast.
