Red · Full · Dry
The classical red blend — Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and friends — from southwest France. Black currant, cedar, tobacco; serious structure; rewards patience and decanting.
Why it works with Wagyu Beef
Pair Wagyu Beef with Bordeaux when you want both wine and meal to push back equally.
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 Wagyu Beef Steak
Cabernet's tannins grip steak's protein and cut through fat — the textbook steakhouse pairing.
Sparkling · Light · Dry
Méthode champenoise from the most chalk-rich corner of France — fine bubbles, brioche, lemon zest, and a finish that goes on for half a minute. The wine for anything fried, salty, or special.
Why it works with Japanese Wagyu Beef
Bubbles cut through soy and tempura batter — the cocktail-bar pairing for sushi.
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 Japanese Wagyu Beef
Unoaked Chardonnay matches richer Japanese preparations like tempura and miso-glazed fish.
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 Japanese Wagyu And Australian Kobe Beef Tenderloin With Oxtail Jus
Château Cantemerle and Japanese Wagyu And Australian Kobe Beef Tenderloin With Oxtail Jus make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.
Northern Rhône Viognier at its grandest — apricot, honeysuckle, ginger, with a richness that surprises everyone. The wine to drink alongside soft cheese and a sunset.
Why it works with Wagyu Beef
Condrieu 15+ Years Old and Wagyu Beef make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.
White · Medium · 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 Wagyu Beef
Dry Riesling's body and acid balance Wagyu Beef's flavor profile.
Red · Full · Dry
Argentina's signature grape: deep purple, plummy, and remarkably smooth for its weight. Soft tannins and a touch of cocoa make it the dinner-party Cabernet alternative — and far easier on the wallet.
Why it works with Wagyu Beef Steak
Argentine Malbec was bred for steak — supple tannin, dark plum fruit, no shyness.
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 Japanese Wagyu Beef
Silky red meets fattier Japanese dishes — salmon, tuna tataki, yakitori — without overwhelming them.
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 Japanese Wagyu Beef
Off-dry Riesling threads the soy-wasabi-fish triangle the way sake does.
White · Light · Dry
Citrus, cut grass, and a wire of acid. Marlborough makes it loudest; Sancerre makes it most refined. Either way, it cuts cleanly through goat cheese, herbs, and anything with shellfish.
Why it works with Japanese Wagyu Beef
Crisp, mineral white mirrors the cleanness of sashimi and lightly-dressed Japanese dishes.
Red · Full · Dry
Old-vine Shiraz from Barossa or McLaren Vale: dark, peppery, and unembarrassed about its size. Black plum, smoked meat, licorice, and a finish that lingers like the last embers of a grill.
Why it works with Wagyu Beef
Shiraz's weight matches Wagyu Beef's heft; the tannins keep the palate clean between bites.
