Recommended wine: Riesling, Albarino, Sparkling Rose

Riesling, Albarino, and Sparkling rosé are my top picks for Sardines. Strongly flavored, oily fish like sardines pair well with these crisp white wines and sparkling wine, even rosé. You could try Clean Slate Riesling. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 13 dollars per bottle.

Clean Slate Riesling

Refreshing taste profile with peach aromas, lime notes, livelyacidity and a hint of mineral and spice.Pairs beautifully with Asian dishes, spicy foods, sushi, fish, poultryand pork.
