Recommended wine: Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Chenin Blanc

Asian on the menu? Try pairing with Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Chenin Blanc. 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. One wine you could try is Maximin Grunhauser Riesling Abstberg Grosses Gewachs. It has 4.6 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 63 dollars.

Maximin Grunhauser Riesling Abstberg Grosses Gewachs

Grunhaus is relatively new to GG production, having only joined the VDP (Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter) in 2015. They make two GGs - Herrenberg and Abstberg. Abtsberg reigns supreme, derived from deep blue slate soils. It exhibits telltale aromas and flavors of white peach, apricot, spring flowers and green herbs. A thrilling streak of citrusy acidity wakes up the palate and reveals the deep mineral and herbal facets of this extraordinary complex Riesling. There is no lack of fruit - the peach, apple and mango shine throughout - but it’s the haunting earthiness and filigreed detail of this wine that makes it unforgettable.
