Recommended wine: Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Riesling
Asian works really well with Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, and Riesling. 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. The Lang & Reed Napa Valley Chenin Blanc with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 30 dollars per bottle.
Lang & Reed Napa Valley Chenin Blanc
The Lang & Reed 2015 Chenin Blanc – Napa Valley has peach and tropical fruit that are immediately on the nose, with the necessary hint of honeycomb (the traditional varietal character), and a lesser expression of apple and citrus. On the palate, the aromas are mirrored and given an even stronger presence with yellow apple exotic citrus notes, which give it an accurate tartness. The texture is tender, and the flavors broaden with a touch of saline minerality, which leads into bright crisp acidity, adding to the wine’s refreshing character. It will blossom and gain in complexity with additional bottle time.
