Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc

Salmon on the menu? Try pairing with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. To decide on white or red, you should consider your seasoning and sauces. Chardonnay is a great friend to buttery, creamy dishes, while sauvignon blanc can complement herb or citrus-centric dishes. A light-bodied, low-tannin red such as the pinot noir goes great with broiled or grilled salmon. You could try Flowers Sea View Ridge Estate Pinot Noir. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 67 dollars per bottle.

Flowers Sea View Ridge Estate Pinot Noir

Deep red color with a brick rim. Aromas are floral and fruit dominant consisting of raspberry and bing cherry with subtlehints of cedar, allspice and anise. The whole cluster element provides spiciness on the palate with smooth texture andhints of minerality that leads to an acid-driven lingering finish.
