Grenache Wine Pairing | Roasted Squash & Whipped Feta

This vibrant, seasonal dish was designed to mirror the lifted, expressive character of our 2023 Estate Grenache. Roasted delicata squash brings natural sweetness and caramelized depth, while pomegranate seeds add bursts of brightness that echo the wine’s wild strawberry and blood orange notes.

Fresh mint introduces a cooling herbal lift, and whipped feta adds a creamy, tangy element that balances the wine’s spice-driven profile. The result is a lively, textural pairing—fresh yet grounded, playful yet composed—perfect for showcasing Grenache’s energy, fruit, and aromatic charm.
