Grant Burge has teamed up again with street artist KRINK, and we have six colour-matched pairings to celebrate.
We’re big fans of all things pink around here, like Margot Robbie’s empowered Barbie, Elvis’s beloved cadillac, Elle Woods’s entire wardrobe, and we can’t forget the Pink Ladies in Grease. But now there’s a new pink icon in town – the Grant Burge KRINK X Barossa Ink Limited Edition Shiraz, with its exclusive design. Forget what you think you know about shiraz because this is so much more than what you buy Dad for Father’s Day (although we know he’d love it).
In a collaboration so nice they’ve now done it twice, Grant Burge has again joined forces with New York artist Craig Costello – the brains behind artist materials brand KRINK and sick collabs with brands like Nike, Virgil Abloh and Tommy Hilfiger – with this standout release. You can’t miss the striking Grant Burge KRINK X Barossa Ink Limited Edition Shiraz on Dan Murphy’s shelves (look for the pink paint dripping down the label), and you won’t get your hands on this collector’s item anywhere else. The new wine adds to Grant Burge’s popular Ink Collection, which includes the Cabernet Sauvignon and Buttery Chardonnay, Midnight Ink Shiraz and Cabernet, and a Mid-Strength Shiraz.
If you’re newer to shiraz – or Grant Burge – you’re in for a treat. If you love a wine that plays nice with a whole range of food and you can also get behind a bottle that looks ridiculously good on the table, you’ve come to the right place. Going all in on the pink theme (we need no excuse), we have six colour-matched dish ideas to pair with this wine. But first, let’s run through some quick takeaways about shiraz and this hot new collab.
1. Prosciutto-wrapped figs
Fancy? You bet, although a couple of figs go a long way in this dish, so you won’t have to sell a kidney to buy a handful of these plump little squishy delights. If you can’t find fresh ones, dried figs also work well. Whatever you use, cut them into pieces and wrap some prosciutto around each one (we love prosciutto di San Daniele), and you’ve got a mouthful of salty-sweet goodness. Perfect on its own, this combo will shine with the Grant Burge KRINK x Barossa Ink Limited Edition Shiraz. The wine’s rich fruit flavours will enhance the sweetness of the fig as well as that lip-smacking saltiness from the cured meat. Crunchy grissini is essential.
