Pairing Wine with Fish & Sea Food 🍷
Pairing wine with fish or seafood can be daunting. Yes, white wines are generally the right choice—but which ones? 😉
Prosecco:
Spot-on perfect for fried food. While light beers match up well with fried seafood, most wines lose something when you pair them with a thick beer batter. But not with sparkling wine, whose bubbles cut through the weight of fried food as if the wines were made for the dish.
This flavourful Prosecco has a fresh, delicate creamy texture with a soft, fruity fragrance. It is deliciously dry, balanced with soft fruit flavours of crisp green apple, white peach, and ripe pear. It is an absolutely refreshing and enjoyable sparkling wine suitable for informal gatherings or that special occasion.
Pinot Grigio:
Dry and crisp, Pinot Grigio is the wine to reach for when serving lean, white fish cooked simply. Alternatively, you can use these wines to cut through the natural fat in some fish, such as catfish, lobster, or mussels.
Sophisticated and uplifting this Pinot Grigio is a lively fusion of lime, pear and green apple flavours. Delightfully fresh and crisp, It offers the perfect balance of fruit flavours with just the right acidity. Perfectly paired with soft cheese and seafood.
Pinot Noir:
If you go for red wine, go for the lightest. A Pinot noir goes very well with salmon, tuna, marlin, or other fatty, meaty, big-flavored fish.
Nericon Pinot Noir has a distinctly elegant balance of red berry and cherry flavours that linger on the palate. This pinot noir has fresh acidity which is complemented by fine tannins. Perfect to serve with Pork Ragu and Mussels in Tomato and Chilli.
Wine pairing is fun and doesn't have to be complicated.
The general rule would be: don’t overpower the meat but remember that food & wine are fun! As we all know, rules are made to be broken.! At Dee Vine Estate, we stand for the wine to be accessible and not too serious.
