Instructions
Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. In small bowl, mix all ingredients except pork and oil.
Brush oil over all sides of pork. Rub lemon peel mixture over pork.
Cover and grill pork over medium-low heat 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until pork has slight blush of pink in center and meat thermometer inserted in center reads 160F.
Remove pork from grill; cover with foil.
Let stand 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
Recommended wine: Malbec, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese
Malbec, Pinot Noir, and Sangiovese are my top picks for Pork Tenderloin. Pinot noir's light body is great for lean cuts, medium bodied sangiovese complement meaty sauces, stews, and other multi-ingredient dishes, and full-bodied tannic malbec pairs with fatty cuts and barbecue. The La Celia Pioneer Malbec with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 14 dollars per bottle.

La Celia Pioneer Malbec
The 2017 Finca La Celia Pioneer Malbec is an attractive wine with aromas of fresh and ripe fruit, in perfect harmony with the delicacy of the violets and oak aging notes. Very good attack on the palate, with fruity concentration, typical of Malbec, palate medium firm but at the same time elegant. It is an ideal Malbec to drink with the Argetine roast beef with typical “empanadas”.
