Dry, Nutty Whites

Although these are intense wines, they are also very subtly flavoured, so avoid pairing with spices as this will destroy their subtlety.

• Creamy and buttery sauces (Best match)
• Plain grilled white fish
• Grilled or roast chicken and turkey
• Smoked salmon
• Spaghetti carbonara
• Grilled or baked salmon and tuna
• Seafood in a white wine and cream sauce
• Pork
• Rabbit
• Pheasant or partridge (OK match)
