The showpiece is our cellared Semillon-Sauvignon Blanc 2005. Most Australian SSB wines are made to be enjoyed young – often within the same year of vintage. Our SSB '05 is a rare exception, carefully cellared, it has evolved into something richer, more layered and more food-friendly over time. That extra depth is exactly what lets it stand up to the heat, richness and aromatics you find in great Asian cooking.
Our Chardonnay 2018 is rich and intense to pair with the spices, just the right balance, not too mature that it overpowers. While our MacAnn Cabernets 2019 blend has mellowed with resolved tannins just right to pair with these rich dishes but not so strong to over power.
Hi. Welcome to our UMAMU Asian Pairing Masterclass Trio.
This 3-pack bundle is a food-and-wine experience designed to sharpen your pairing instincts, while you cook three showstopping Asian dishes at home!
What makes this 3-pack special?
We have distilled weeks of creation into minutes of cooking for you in this trio pack of three wines, three quick recipes of Satay, Fried Rice and Laksa.
We sought out these three dishes and discovered which wines pair with the three dishes. Three wines matched with each of the three recipes - they work because of the wine’s flavour profile: the acidity, texture, tannin and spice-handling power that makes UMAMU such a natural fit for Asian cuisine.
It is a journey into cellared wines and pairings with Asian dishes.
All three dishes have similar weight to the three wines. And the conversation works.
This 3-pack is both a journey into cellared white wines and a journey on why pairings work. This Asian pairing masterclass is designed to be enjoyed as and when you have the time. Try them out over your weekday evenings. Or enjoy them three weekends in a row. Or like me I prepared all three at the same time and tasted to see which wines paired.
As with all UMAMU Estate wines, these three vintages only get better with ageing. So there's no time limit on you trying each of the pairing combinations.

If you’ve ever wanted to feel confident pairing wine with Asian flavours, this is the fun, delicious way in: three wines, three dishes, and a clear path to exploring your palate.
