Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sparkling Rose

Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé are great choices for Mexican. Acidic white wines like riesling or low-tannin reds like pinot noir can work well with Mexican dishes. Sparkling rosé is a safe pairing too.

Bright aromatic florals, cassis and red fruits complementing spice and savoury notes. The palate is supple and harmonious, with interesting layers and umami elements, fine texture and a lovely balanced finish.
