ZAAFFRAN offers a comprehensive selection premium Australian Wines (many by the glass) ideally suited for spicy cuisine. Subtly spiced foods require a careful selection of wines that do not overpower the flavours. Full flavoured but low-tannic wines dominate our list.

Almost all of our wines have been rated 4 stars or higher by reputed wine masters such as James Halliday and Huon Hooke.

We highly recommend the following spice-friendly wines:
 
WHITE:
Sparkling/Champagne, Viognier, Verdelho, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris/Grigio

RED:
Rosė, Grenache, Zinfandel/Primitivo, Pinot Noir, Merlot
