Recommended wine: Gewurztraminer, Chenin Blanc, Riesling
Gewurztraminer, Chenin Blanc, and Riesling are my top picks for Asian. The best wine for Asian food depends on the cuisine and dish - of course - but these acidic whites pair with a number of traditional meals, spicy or not. You could try Zind-Humbrecht Calcaire Gewurztraminer. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 43 dollars per bottle.
Zind-Humbrecht Calcaire Gewurztraminer
This wine shows an incredibly refined nose with great aromatic persistence where ancient rose, leather and musky spices combine together. The palate is elegant as well as firm. The residual sweetness does not bring any heaviness; instead, it allows a better integration of the tannic structure.Excellent match for spicy dishes or strong cheeses as well as rich pate or Asian cuisines.
