Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Merlot, Rose Wine

Tuna works really well with Pinot Noir, Merlot, and rosé Wine. Though fish is often paired with white wine, 'meatier' fish like tuna can absolutely go with red wine. A Rosé will also pair nicely, particularly if your tunan is prepared with ingredients better suited to a white wine. You could try Flowers Sea View Ridge Estate Pinot Noir. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 67 dollars per bottle.

Flowers Sea View Ridge Estate Pinot Noir

Deep red color with a brick rim. Aromas are floral and fruit dominant consisting of raspberry and bing cherry with subtlehints of cedar, allspice and anise. The whole cluster element provides spiciness on the palate with smooth texture andhints of minerality that leads to an acid-driven lingering finish.
