Enjoying game and wine together has a long tradition. This is proven by old records and recipes from the 17. and 18th century, for example from Bourgogne, Piedmont, Lower Austria or the Palatinate. The combination of grape juice and game meat is not too difficult, but there are some rules to follow. Because although the meat is usually quite lean meat, it is also quite rich and wild. With this often very intense own note, it overwhelms rather filigree and light-footed wines. The first choice are full-bodied, aromatic wines with character, which can stand up to the pronounced wild taste. Ultimately, however, the harmony of game and wine depends on the type of meat and how it is prepared.<\/p>\n\n

The basic considerations begin with the procurement of the meat. How old was the animal when it was slaughtered and what gender was it? The meat of older animals usually tastes more intense and the meat of male deer can develop a special taste of its own during the rutting season. How long did the meat hang out? Prolonged maturation makes the meat more tender. Venison is often grilled or used for stews and stews. The way of cooking has an influence on the wine selection, as well as the characteristic of marinades and sauces.<\/p>\n\n

Numerous recipes for game meat dishes describe sauces with a strong fruity character. The reason for this fruity approach is probably that game meat can be quite dry compared to beef or lamb. With ingredients such as red berries or fruity, sweet wines, such as port wine or Madeira in the sauce, one tries to counteract the dryness of the meat.But beware: If the sauce with which the game meat is served is too fruity, your carefully selected, dry and velvety red wine will probably taste unpleasantly sour. So it is better to serve the sauce separately and well dosed.<\/p>\n\n
