Viognier & Samosa
If you need a wine to pair with Samosas or the best wine for Samosas, try our Reserve Viogier! The aromatics of honeysuckle and orange blossom play well with the warm and herbaceous vegetables and is the perfect accoutrement to the mint and cilantro chutney. The subtle notes of lemongrass provide the perfect backdrop for the rustic vegetables and flaky pastry of the Samosa.
Riesling & Palak Paneer
Because of the residual sugar Riesling pairs well with dishes like palak paneer, a dish with cubes of mild cheese and creamy spinach sauce. The freshness and acidity of a Riesling won’t overpower the spinach and will complement the creaminess. Tannins can increase the perception of spice and may overpower spicy dishes as well as accentuate bitterness. You want to find a way to balance the essentials like the sweetness, sourness, tanginess, heat and the spice, and the texture, and riesling does this perfectly!
Merlot & Chicken Tikka Masala
Dishes like Chicken Tikka Masala are the perfect compliment with a Merlot since the smoky flavor from the tandoor cooking and subtle spices shine when matched with a softer tannin, fruit-forward wine. Fruit-forward wines with lower tannins may also complement the spiciness of these popular Indian dishes, while rounding out the flavors with bright blueberry, cherry, and vanilla notes.
Rose & Chicken Korma
For Chicken Korma, choose rosé!. The roundness of the coconut milk and yogurt provide a distinct texture component to the dish that needs to be addressed with the right rosé. The key is to provide some body in the wine without overpowering the dish.
