Recommended wine: Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Riesling
Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, and Riesling are my top picks for Asian. The best wine for Asian food depends on the cuisine and dish - of course - but these acidic whites pair with a number of traditional meals, spicy or not. You could try Gabrielskloof Chenin Blanc. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 20 dollars per bottle.

Gabrielskloof Chenin Blanc
The 2019 Chenin Blanc was naturally fermented in 85% old barrels with minimal intervention, with the remainder undergoing fermentation in steel tanks. On the nose, green apples, lime zest, honey and wet stone. An elegant palate with balance, freshness and a delightful texture.
