Vegetables

Dry, crisp and gentle whites like Arneis, Friulano, Fiano, Riesling and Pinot Gris are great pairings for most vege dishes and salads. With more intensely flavoured veggies, try to match that intensity with wines like Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Marsanne, Semillon and even a crisp Rosé! Once you add butter, umami and caramelisation into the equation you can reach for your richer styles like Chardonnay, Viognier, Roussanne and Savagnin. Italian reds pair beautifully with deep tomato based stews and for more complex dishes, get adventurous and open up a complex Orange wine.
