Fall Flavor Pairings from Keel and Curley Winery

Fall is always a fun time of year in Florida. As the weather finally starts to cool down, we see decorations in stores, seasonal flavors come out of hiding, and everyone starts preparing for the holiday spirit.

At Keel Farms Winery, we have just the wines that are sure to get you into that special fall feel. If you are looking to buy local Florida wine this season, below are some delicious must-try pairings.

Autumn Apple Wine

Our Autumn Apple Wine boasts a flawless fusion of crisp white grapes with tantalizing apple notes. These seasonal flavors make it a true fall favorite.

For the ultimate fall pairing, start with a selection of soft, aged cheeses as an appetizer before serving roasted chicken as the main course. 

Be sure to serve it chilled to fully enjoy the crisp apple notes that tie it all together.

Black Raspberry

This wine is known for its elegant red color complemented by aromas of wild black raspberries, blueberries, and a touch of cherry. With a light yet well-rounded body, it has a balanced sweetness and soft finish that call for a savory pairing.

When serving this wine, try pairing it with a charcuterie board filled with cured meats, cheeses, crackers, and fresh fruit. Together, they create a balance of sweet and savory flavors that are sure to bring out the best in each sip.

Sangria

Next, our Florida Sangria is a unique blend of some of our finest red wines: Cabernet, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Blackberry, and of course, our famous Blueberry! 

As the finishing touch, these red wines come together with fresh lemons, oranges, tangerines, pineapples, peaches, and strawberries.

To enjoy this wine to the fullest, try it alongside a juicy grilled New York strip or sirloin steak. The bold, savory flavors of the steak will work wonderfully to balance out the red wine base of the Florida sangria.

Wild Berry

Last but not least, our Wild Berry wine is a must-try for food and wine lovers alike. 

Its breathtaking, deep purple color comes from a special combination of strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries blended into the delicately balanced body of lush, plum-driven Pinot Noir.

For the perfect fall pairing, think Thanksgiving-style dinner. Serve a glass alongside roasted turkey, savory stuffing, mashed potatoes, and maybe even some cranberry sauce for a wine that can not only stand up to all the flavors but look gorgeous while doing it.
