Perfumed, Exotic Whites

Aromatic wines are excellent with food, although they tend to suit complex dishes better than simple ones.

• Thai and Chinese food (Best match)
• Smoked fish
• Duck and goose
• Rich pates
• Pork
• Quiche
• Anything that combines a lot of strong flavours - e.g. Asian food, mixed charcuterie or smorgasbord
• Indian food
• Anything cooked with fresh ginger
• Cold pork and chicken (OK match)
