Recommended wine: Riesling, Gruener Veltliner, Sparkling Rose

Indian works really well with Riesling, Gruener Veltliner, and Sparkling rosé. The best wine for Indian food will depending on the dish, of course, but these picks can be served chilled and have some sweetness to complement the spiciness and complex flavors of a wide variety of traditional dishes. You could try Zilliken Rausch Riesling Spatlese. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 20 dollars per bottle.

Zilliken Rausch Riesling Spatlese

Fruit driven finesse is marked with a delicate florality in this late-picked Riesling. Notes of vineyard peach, grapefruit, juicy lemon and ripe passion fruit come together on a creamy, concentrated palate rich with melon and candied lemon peel. Stunning exchange of racy acidity and layered sweetness together form a perfectly poised whole. The long, juicy finish and fantastic vintage hint at a beautiful future yet to come.
