Wine flights have become one of the most compelling ways to explore a restaurant’s cellar — and at Ember in Singapore, the format has been designed specifically around the food. Rather than a generic progression of styles, Ember’s flights are curated to move alongside the steak and seafood menu, guiding guests through flavour contrasts and pairings they would be unlikely to discover on their own.
What Is a Wine Flight?
A wine flight is a structured sequence of wine pours — typically three to five glasses — chosen to illustrate a theme, a region, or a progression of styles. At Ember, flights are built around the food: each wine is chosen because it performs well alongside something on the current menu. It is the sommelier’s version of a tasting menu — a narrative told in glass rather than plate.
Ember’s Approach to Natural Wine
Ember’s cellar leans significantly toward natural, low-intervention, and minimal-sulphite wines. Natural wine in Singapore has a growing audience, and Ember has been one of the restaurants at the forefront of introducing the style to guests who might not have encountered it before. Flights often move from a more approachable, conventional style into progressively more expressive natural territory.
Red, White, and Orange
Ember’s cellar does not default to red wine simply because steaks are on the menu. White and orange (skin-contact) wines appear regularly in flight sequences — particularly alongside lighter starters, seafood, or the koji-aged ribeye where an unconventional pairing reveals something surprising. A structured skin-contact Friulano alongside a koji ribeye is not the obvious choice — but at Ember, it consistently converts guests who thought they only drank red with steak.
How to Experience a Wine Flight at Ember
Wine flights are available by request — ask the team when you are seated. Pairings can be tailored to your budget and your appetite for exploration. Whether you want three glasses or five, conventional or adventurous, the cellar has the range to accommodate.
