Pairing guide

Wine with mac and cheese

Wine styles to consider with mac and cheese, and why they work.

Chenin Blanc

Chenin Blanc brings apple richness and taut acidity, lifting the cheese without adding more weight.

Brut Sparkling brings fine bubbles and citrusy acidity, lifting macaroni and cheese and keeping the cheese from feeling heavy.

Chardonnay brings rounded apple texture and measured acidity, matching the dish's weight and keeping the finish composed.

Style-level guidance. Preparation, sauce and the individual bottle can change the match.
