Spicy Foods

Aromatic white wines are the best choice for spicy dishes with some heat. Look for highly perfumed and gently sweet styles of wine like off-dry Riesling, Chenin Blanc, Gewürztraminer, aged Semillon and skin contact styles. If you’re looking for a Red to match something spicy, go for a medium bodied spicy wine like a GSM, Grenache, Sangiovese, Barbera, Cabernet Franc, Carignan or Carménère. The naturally earthy spice and red fruit flavours in these wines will work beautifully.
