Shrimp can be paired with Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, and Pinot Grigio. These crisp white wines work well with shrimp prepared in a variety of ways, whether grilled, fried, or in garlic sauce.

Tom Eddy Tenz-Sauvignon Blanc

Hints of classic Marlborough Sauvignon herbal qualities complement other complex characteristics of grapefruit, white pear, green grass, and gooseberry. The wine's intense aromatics are reinforced on the palate with a subtle minerality and mouth-watering acidity. The concentrated finish is crisp, clean and long-lasting. The wine's tasting profile matches perfectly with a variety of foods (like fresh oysters!) but is easily enjoyed by itself on a hot summer day. Cheers!
