 SIGNATURE STEAKS
South African beef is leaner in natural fat (11%) than beef from the USA (33%) and Europe (23%).
As a result, meat cooked past medium (particularly fillet) tends to dry out quickly.
For an authentic Butcher Shop experience, we encourage our patrons to personally select a
larger cut of meat from the butchery.

OUR SPECIALTY
We are renowned for our superior meat dishes, which is partly thanks to our use of only the best
mature-aged meat. Our meat is hung in carcass for up to three days, after which our rump, sirloin,
fillet, rib eye, T-bone and prime rib are cut and aged for a further 21 to 40 days.

We customise your dining experience by encouraging you to hand-pick your piece of meat
from our in-house butchery, where our expert butcher can cut it to your preferred size. You may also, if
you prefer, choose one of the standard meat cuts listed in this menu.

For over 25 years, The Butcher Shop & Grill has been regarded as the premier steakhouse
in Johannesburg, if not in South Africa. Known for their superior cuts of meat and steaks,
the wine list has also become synonymous with this establishment.

Over the years owner Alan Pick, a visionary and market leader in the hospitality industry,
and his team have put together a wine list that is regarded as one of the best in South
Africa. His passion for wine as well as the close and personal relationship he has estab-
lished over the years with wine estates and winemakers, has led to many wine list,
restaurant awards and accolades.

Our resident sommelier and our experienced and knowledgeable serving staff are here to
assist you in choosing the right wine to compliment your meal so that your dining experi-
ence is memorable. Please ask for our assistance or ask us to take you on a tour of our
wine cellar.

“The best way to appreciate wine is to drink it with good food and friends“

Special Edition wines and Vintages

Our wine cellar offers some special and limited edition wines. These include wines from
the Cape Winemakers Guild Auction and other odd bins. Why not browse through the
cellar and choose something special. Some of these wines will never be available again.

Prices for wines are as per the wine list when they are enjoyed at the table. For consump-
tion at home or for private collections, a 10% discount will be applied for these wines.
Please look out for other wine cellar specials!

We have compiled an extensive wine list in an endeavour to cater for all tastes and prefer-
ences; therefore corkage fee is not permissible in our restaurant.

Please note that wines are subject to availability.

Vintages might vary due to availability and allocation and new vintages from the wine
farms.
 MAP OF SOUTH AFRICAN
WINE REGION
Nestled at the foot of Africa, the Cape Winelands stretch from the rugged mountains and
multi-directional slopes of the coastal region to the open plains of the Klein Karoo where
viticulture takes place mainly in the riverine valleys of the Western Cape. There are five
regions in the geographical unit of the Western Cape – Breede River Valley, Cape South
Coast, Coastal Region, Klein Karoo and Olifants River.

South Africa is the eighth biggest wine producer in the world

 SOUTH AFRICAN WINE
VINTAGE CHART
South Africa does not exhibit the major vintage variations usually seen in some
winemaking regions around the world. There are, nevertheless, perceptible differences
from year to year. Dry, hot summers are the norm but a variety of other factors cause
changes.

2020 - hailed for concentration, freshness, subtle tannins and modest alcohol

2019 – Like 2017, bone-dry but cool. Small crop but excellent showing freshness &
concentration

2018 - Challenging conditions. Lingering drought required particular focus on optimal

picking times, conserving wine resources and managing expectations. Generally healthy,
smaller berries yielding sound concentrated flavours.

2017 – Expected a worsening of 2016’s drought & heat. Smaller but excellent crop with
freshness & fine flavour concentrations in both white & red wines.

2016 – Exceptionally hot, dry and challenging, with later ripening varietals benefiting from
lower temperatures. Disease free. Could yield stellar wines.

2015 - Near-perfect conditions. A smaller but pristine crop displaying exceptional quality
across the style spectrum. One of the greatest vintages, possibly better than 2009.

2014 - Later, slightly smaller and unusually cool. Amongst the wettest pre-seasons in
years. Seemingly, lighter, less powerful wines: potential for fine concentration and elegance.

2013 - Biggest crop to date. Moderate conditions yielding good to very good reds and
whites. Lighter alcohol levels.

2012 - Unusually dry, hot January which strained unirrigated vineyards. Good to very good
vintage for reds and whites. Moderate alcohol levels.

2010 – A real test of the winemaker’s savvy. One of the toughest harvests to call.

2009 – Perhaps one of the greatest vintages. Late, gruelling, but whites and red both
stellar.

2006 – Perhaps the best white wine vintage in a decade. Particularly expressive
Sauvignon Blancs and Chenin Blancs. Fleshy, mild-tannin reds.
 FOOD AND WINE PAIRING
Food and wine pairing is a fairly subjective topic. While tastes vary, some pairings are
better than others. Taste and enjoyment is very subjective. What might be good for one
guest might be less enjoyable for the other. At the end of the day, the food and wine
pairing is there to enhance the dining experience, and make it more memorable.

Often when one goes to a restaurant, it is common for a waitron to give you a wine list
with your food menu. Because of this, we often choose a wine before deciding on what
we are going to eat. Gone are the days of having an aperitif or pre-dinner drink while
deciding on our meal.

To find the perfect match, try to complement, balance or contrast the key components of
flavour intensity of alcohol, acidity, sweetness, saltiness and tannins of a wine.

The food and wine pairing guidelines below are purely a suggestion and not the law.
These are merely a good starting point. We have not paired the meal with a specific wine,
but rather have recommended the best wine varietal. One can therefore make their own
choice according to affordability and preference.

STARTERS
Oysters – Mèthode Cap Classique
Garlic Snails – unwooded Chardonnay / Semillon
Baked Camembert Cheese – wooded Chardonnay / Pinot Noir
Grilled Baby Calamari – Pinot Grigio / unwooded Chenin Blanc
Beef Carpaccio – lightly wooded Chardonnay
Chicken Wings – Riesling / wooded Chenin Blanc
Chicken Livers – Riesling / Gewürztraminer
Steak Tartare – unwooded Chardonnay
Izimbambo Zemvu – Cabernet Sauvignon

SALAD
Greek Salad – Sauvignon Blanc
Caesar Salad – Viognier / unwooded Chardonnay
Calamari & Haloumi Salad – Chenin Blanc
Smoked Salmon Salad – Chenin Blanc / Rosè
Bacon & Avocado Salad – Chenin Blanc
 MEATS
It is common knowledge that red wine and red meat is a good combination. However,
certain cuts of meat pair better with certain wine cultivars. So, while grapes release
different aromas and flavours to a wine according to a specific cultivar, the same can be
said for different types of meat cuts. Each cut comes from a different part of the
animal, as well as taste profiles can be different from different kinds of animals. Red
wine is considered to be the correct pairing for red meat because of the high tannin
content whose astringency cuts through the fat content of meat. The leaner the meat,
the lighter the wine.

Fillet Steak – Pinot Noir– it is one of the lightest red wines. The acidity of this light red
wine cuts through the delicate texture of the steak

Rump Steak – Merlot - this wine is regarded as a wine varietal that is easy drinking and
smooth. It matches the rump’s equally flavourful & soft texture

Sirloin Steak – Shiraz - this is a bold red wine that compliments the steak because of its
high tannin. It acts as a palate cleanser with this fattier cut

Rib Eye Steak and Wagyu Steak– Cabernet Sauvignon – this full-bodied wine with
robust fruit flavours can stand up to the richness of the rib eye and Wagyu Steak. Tan-
nins cut through the marbled fattiness making the wine taste smoother and less bitter
while making the steak flavours more prominent. A good Cabernet Sauvignon / Shiraz
Blend can also work.

Fillet on the Bone, Sirloin on the Bone and T-bone steak – Red Blend - the bone adds
more flavour because of the bone marrow. Here a robust, flavourful blend is required
