Salmon needs to be divided into two kinds: smoked (or cured) and fresh.
Alsace GEWURTZTRAMINER is the classic accompaniment to smoked salmon. You can see our selection (including a Chilean look alike!) here. Also enjoyable: dry sherry - especially MANZANILLA, or CHAMPAGNE. Good New World RIESLING or a German RIESLING KABINETT will also provide a good match.
Fresh Salmon will love a POUILLY FUME, a SANCERRE, or a zippy fresh NEW ZEALAND SAUVIGNON. For a colour match... we have a fresh pink wine to go with fresh pink fish here! |
