The perfect wine for spicy-sweet Shrimp Tempura? [Recipe Inside]

 

 

April Food and Wine Pairing

 

Each month we offer you a new pairing of a savory recipe with one of our extraordinary "undiscovered" wines from the Languedoc. It's our way of saying merci for joining us on this adventure into winemaking in the Languedoc-Roussillon, an area wine critics describe as "the most exciting wine region of the whole of France." 

This month we've paired the tartness of a 2018 Soif L'idéal white with the spicy-sweet goodness of Tempura Fried Shrimp and Ginger-Chili Dipping Sauce. 
 

Featured Wine

 

TERRASSES DE GABRIELLE
2018 SOIF L'IDÉAL 
30% GRENACHE BLANC, 30% ROUSSANNE,
30% VERMENTINO, 10% VIOGNIER

This may become your own “ideal thirst” quencher. The structure and acidity of the Grenache Blanc and Vermentino blended with the honeyed pear and peach flowers of the Roussanne and Viognier creates a wine that is lively and engaging. Finishes with a smooth, nut bread hint. The tartness perfectly complements fried food, including this month's Shrimp Tempura recipe.
