As the Easter weekend approaches, there’s no better time to slow down, gather your loved ones, and indulge in a delicious feast paired with exceptional Australian wines. At Audacity Wines, we believe that every meal should be a moment to savour—and with the right wine, it becomes unforgettable.

We’ve curated our favourite Easter pairings, inspired by time-honoured traditions and elevated by premium Australian wines from family-owned vineyards. Here’s how to bring the spirit of Australia to your Easter table.

🍞 Hot Cross Buns & Sparkling Wine: A Bubbly Brunch Starter

Start your Easter morning with the comforting aroma of spiced, fruit-laced hot cross buns—made even better with a glass of Australian sparkling wine.

Try the De Bortoli DB Family Selection Cuvée Brut or celebrate in style with the delightful Howard Park Jeté Brut Blanc NV from the Great Southern. The lively bubbles and citrusy notes balance the warm spices and soft sweetness of the buns, adding a festive pop to your brunch.

Why it works: The acidity and effervescence of the sparkling wine cuts through the richness and make every bite feel lighter and brighter.

🐟 Seafood & Crisp Whites: Fresh, Elegant, and Oh-So-Delicious!

For many families, Easter lunch features an abundance of fresh seafood—and it pairs beautifully with some of Australia’s most expressive white wines.

Seafood platter: Think oysters, prawns, and grilled calamari. Pair with a fresh MadFish 2022 Sauvignon Blanc Semillon or a zesty Larry Cherubino Laissez Faire 2020 Porongurup Riesling. These wines bring a crisp, mineral edge with citrus and sea spray notes that elevate every bite.

Roasted salmon with lemon & pepper: Go for a cool-climate Chardonnay like the gold medal-winning Tolpuddle Vineyard 2015 Chardonnay or our customer favourite, De Bortoli 2021 Blue Gris. These wines offer enough body and zing to complement the richness of the salmon and its bright citrus seasoning.

Why we love it: These wines enhance the freshness of the ocean while offering layers of complexity that make your meal feel extra special.

🐑 Roast Lamb & Cabernet Sauvignon: A Time-Honoured Pairing

The centrepiece of many Easter feasts, roast lamb is bold, juicy, and herbaceous—and it deserves a wine that can stand beside it with confidence.

Enter: Cabernet Sauvignon, especially those from Margaret River. With notes of blackcurrant, bay leaf, and a touch of spice, this wine beautifully complements rosemary-crusted lamb and roasted vegetables.

We particularly love the Woodlands 2018 Wilyabrup Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot from Margaret River, while the gold medal-winning Best's 2020 Great Western Cabernet Sauvignon from the Grampians is excellent value—and an Audacity Wines team favourite.

Pro tip: Decant your Cabernet an hour before serving to bring out its full bouquet and smooth tannins.

Why it works: Lamb and Cabernet Sauvignon are a classic duo—rich, hearty, and deeply satisfying.

🍫 Chocolate & Mazza Fortified Bastardo: Your Grand Finale

No Easter celebration is complete without chocolate—and pairing it with wine takes things to a whole new level.

Our pick: the Mazza 2017 Bastardo Fortified from the Geographe region in Western Australia. This rich, complex wine offers a mouthful of black cherries, caramelised figs, and allspice—perfect alongside dark chocolate eggs, truffles, or a decadent chocolate tart.

Why we love it: It’s indulgent, unexpected, and utterly luxurious—the perfect way to wrap up a feast.
