Edmonton Oilers 2021 Wine Pairing

Edmonton Oilers 2021 Wine Pairing, Badenhorst Secateurs Vintage Red 2019

Wine notes

South Africa is one of the most established New World wine regions and has found an incredible balance of connecting French winemaking traditions to the unique challenges of growing wine in warmer climates. Cinsault is a grape variety that is classically French, but is leading the new era of wine being made in the Swartland appellation. This red blend includes Cinsault, Grenache, and Shiraz. Like Connor McDavid on the rush, Secateurs Vintage Red 2019 “is supple, smooth on the entry, but with enough grip and freshness to finish dry and refreshing”

Team notes

The Edmonton Oilers are a new era hockey team with old-time hockey traditions. Part of the WHA expansion in 1979-80, the team quickly made its mark winning 5 Stanley Cups between 1984 – 1990. Wayne Gretzky started a hockey tradition with an on-ice team picture. Just like the Secateurs Vintage Red 2019, the 2021 Edmonton Oilers line-up is a throwback to the 1980s team featuring NHL stars Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, Darnell Nurse, and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (to name a few).
