Suggested Pairing:

A timeless choice for duck, Pinot Noir's light body and elegant fruit flavors harmonize beautifully with the richness of the duck. Opt for Pinot Noirs from cool-climate regions like Oregon or Burgundy for their subtle earthy notes that echo the duck's gaminess.

Merlot offers a smooth and medium-bodied profile that complements the duck's richness without overpowering it. Look for Merlots from prestigious areas like Bordeaux or Washington State for their balanced tannins and hints of plum or black cherry.

If you love bold flavors, try a Zinfandel. This California wine's spicy pepper notes and ripe fruit can stand up to the duck's intensity, creating an exciting contrast. Choose Zinfandels from Lodi or Paso Robles for their robust character.

Another bold option, Malbec's deep blackberry and plum flavors pair well with duck dishes with savory sauces or strong herbs. Look for Malbecs from Argentina's Mendoza region for their velvety texture and intense fruitiness.
