Pulled pork is a tender, slow-cooked pork shoulder dish that is shredded and mixed with a sweet and tangy barbecue sauce. The meat is typically rubbed with brown sugar and spices before being smoked or slow-roasted until it is fall-apart tender. The resulting pulled pork has a succulent texture and is often served on sandwiches or as a main course.
The sweet and savory flavors of pulled pork, slow-cooked with brown sugar and apple cider vinegar, pair well with the rich, full-bodied character of Chardonnay. The wine's buttery texture and subtle oak notes complement the tender, juicy meat. Alternatively, a fruity and spicy Grenache with medium tannins can balance the smoky barbecue sauce and enhance the dish's overall taste profile.
