Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sparkling Rose

Mexican works really well with Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé. Acidic white wines like riesling or low-tannin reds like pinot noir can work well with Mexican dishes. Sparkling rosé is a safe pairing too. The Drappier Brut Nature André & Michel Pinot Noir Zero Dosage with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 60 dollars per bottle.

Drappier Brut Nature André & Michel Pinot Noir Zero Dosage
For lovers of pure sensations we have created a 100% Pinot Noir cuvée with no dosage. It contains only the wine's natural residual sugar at less than 2g per bottle. Moreover, the use of an absolute minimum of sulphur gives the wine the freedom to express itself totally. On the nose there is crisp and at the same time ripe fruit. On the palate it is upright and pure, with abundant finesse and freshness.Vermilion gold in color. Nose of freshly pressed black grapes, of red, white and citrus fruits. Ample palate with flesh of vineyard peach and bouquet of aromatic herbs. Small spicy notes in the finish. A fine, tightly knit Champagne of great purity.Ideal as an aperitif. The perfect accompaniment for seafood, sashimi or even soft goat's cheese.
